   I have 2 teens, and they are split, one for Obama, one against. They are talking about the issue with their friends, and are way more engaged than most teens were when I was growing up in the 80's. they are more engaged, but not better informed. they are mostly re-regurgitating what they hear from liberal educators or their parents. I am alarmed that many of them are looking to the govt to fix problems and they refuse to see that govt IS THE PROBLEM.

   Hmm... Whites and Asians are less optimistic. Which were the ones that excelled in math again?

   Hmph! They are discussing issues with their teachers? I doubt that, it's probably the other way around, our Downs Syndrome child is being taught about Obama everyday, though when Bush was in not a word. Biased? You betcha.

   I think what worries me is the teens and adults expect the Government to fix things. That is pretty sad and shows just how far we have come to being a welfare state.

   Can't wait till we get another chance to select a new leader/mouthpiece. Let's hope the GOP doesn't toss that election.

   ...and, to boot, mediapost is publishing this article http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=101179

   So what gives? Which study do we believe more? Are teens indeed reacting to the economy? Or not? Or does the Scarborough study let them get away with 'socially acceptable' answers that are not reflected in actual behavior? Questions over questions...call me a skeptic (I've been called worse).

   It would be interesting to find out the 'motivation' behind these answers. The mere stating of the results and answers teens are giving makes it sounds like they are 'echoing' what everybody else is saying (not trying to say they are being led and/or can't think for themselves). As is, purely regurgitating percentages does not answer questions like 'why are Asian teens are less optimistic than Hispanic teens...!?

   The poor teens have been hoodwinked just like everybody else. What's more the teens are very self-centered and naive so they are attracted to big glossy promises and the novelty of the puppet president without any concern to the real cost to our country's future.

   We are polling Teens, the most selfish group in America! I would love to see the internals of this poll, the size of the sampling and how many come from public vs. private schools. 33% are cutting out fast foods, I thought that was a good thing. Ask these kids if it is constitutional to take money from one group to give it to another, and show me where in the world that a country prospers when this is done!
