Voters 18-24 Voters More Conservative, Libertarian

"According to a spring Harvard Institute of Politics poll," writes Alana Goodman at Commentary magazine, "18 to 24-year-olds are far less likely to support President Obama than 25 to 29-year olds, and they're more likely to hold conservative tendencies. ... There is also a libertarian streak among the youngest voters that isn't as apparent in the slightly older group:"

Today, specifically, the youngest potential voters are more likely than their older peers to think it is important to protect individual liberties from government, the Harvard data suggest, and less likely to think it is important to tackle things like claimate change. health care or immigration.
Mr. Tevlin, for instance, found the Supreme Court ruling upholding Mr. Obama’s health care law troubling. “I don’t think the government should force you to buy anything,” he said.
