Did Bush turn a whole new generation into Democrats while trying to create a permanent Republican majority?
Among voters ages 18 to 29, in 1992 the split was 47 to 46 in favor of the Republicans. Today, Pew Research is showing that same demographic as breaking 58 to 33 in favor of the Democrats.
Politically, today’s cohort of 18-to-29 year olds came of age during the Bush presidency. It has turned them into Democrats.
(The research also rejects that old canard about youth being democrats and and turning into republicans as they get older - NOT SO!)

Again - NOT SO on the switching to republicans - on the contrary, the late boomers & GenX have switched from 3% to 13% in favor of Democrats in the last 4 years.
Great question and supporting information,,Yes Yes Yes,,
While people still call Karl Rove the Genius he isn't, he managed to screw the Republicans out of their majorities in both houses of congress and will lose the presidency as well.
Yeah Karl..What dirty tricks they pull this year may cut the lead, I assume that the polls will have more watchers, the turnout will be the largest in recent history and Democracy will be restored. (These New Younger Voters will assure it.)
When the pocketbook issues, like high food costs, medical costs, gasoline increases while large Corporations prosper, speculators prosper, defense contractors prosper and the rich accumulate a larger share of everything, while the middle class shrunk and the poor increased in larger numbers but they thought we wouldn't notice. This Republican period has a history of haplessly plundering the public wealth and forcing all of us to live on less, so that a few can have much much more.
