Great research but you’re missing a crucial element, Jeff: the Millennial Equation.

According to a Pew report last month — http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1759/young-voters-obama-democrats-2010-midterm-elections-lagging-enthusiasm — the URL keywords speak for themselves.

“53% of voters 30 and older are giving a lot of thought to the election, compared with just 31% of young voters — a 22-point gap. In 2006, there was an 11-point difference; 50% of voters 30 and older, and 39% of those younger than age 30, were giving a lot of thought to the election.”

Thus, my question is what is the age range in your research — and if Millennials are a big factor, is it now polite to discount them online?

Ari – There are many flaws with just looking at raw data and age is one of them. Since the average social user is ~37 years of age (http://bit.ly/cTaZ8a), I would think that Millennials are served by these numbers. Another area that may have skewed numbers is that Deval is a sitting Governor and Cahill is the treasurer. So any time they do something for public policy or participate in a job function, there will be cameras and armchair QBs thus inflating their numbers.

We also would have to assume that everyone that mentioned a candidate will do like you or I later today and step into one of the Commonwealth’s voting booth.
