ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., 29 June (Reuters) – Edwin Megan graduated Phi Beta Kappa in political science. As a student, she had internships in local government and worked as a waitress to help pay tuition fees. It is balanced, articulate – and after a year of live hunting, a shadow desperately
“I would be happy to almost everything works,” she said recently .. “Most of the time you apply and ne` er back exercise. I am speaking in the wind.”
The 23-year-old, a bachelor’s degree from Michigan England College earned last year, has her resume posted on websites, talking to the top recruiter at a career fair and applied all for jobs as far away as Boston. . and New Oasis Truthful far she has had to interview for a secretarial job and a Christian Job Center Neither run is
Edwin is the category of voters hand Romney, the presumed Republican nominee for president, hopes to court -. the victim of a rigid economy, that the blame Romney, President Barack Obama.She lives in Lake Orion, Michigan, 16 miles from Romney childhood in Bloomfield sett country.
Nevertheless, Edwin, who voted for Obama in 2008 will not be tempted. “Am I comfortable with the route of the nation is going in?” She asks. “No, it was a mess for Obama going in. But some things are better now. Back with the Republicans would be fatal.”
Generation Gap
In 2008 voters under 30 constituted about 17 pct of the electorate. You make twice as many votes for Obama than for McCain rooms. In a judgment secured only in part of the electorate voted for 30 candidates from the Democrats.. It was the largest gap between the generations in four decades of modern election polling
Almost four years later, it is hypothesized that rising persistently high unemployment among 20 – to 24-year-olds – 9.3 percent for The Academy graduates and 12.9 percent overall – will cause them to leave the president in November, or simply relax at home.
A Reuters / Ipsos research shows a decrease of the current graduates of all support for Obama compared to 2008, it simply shows no movement toward the GOP.If the vote were held today, 52 percent said they would for the president, and 27 percent voting for Romney. (The ballot surveyed those who graduated from four-year colleges since 2008.)
Far from it, remains aloof, said 58 percent of recent graduates Institute, they have “a lot” or “quite a lot” of interest in the upcoming presidential election. .That compares with 62 percent of the polls were four years ago
Within Michigan, cross the rustic are a number of recent initiatives plausible to strengthen Obama’s appeal to mid-twenties: his push for a slowdown in the interest burden on the government-backed loans educatee, his endorsement of gay marriage, and his offer of work permits for more than a million young undocumented immigrants.
Meanwhile, 6.6 million Americans gain advantage of a provision in the 2010 Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, which allows them to get their parents’ insurance plans do form the age of 26 years.
Among them is Edwin, the Albion high school, whose producer is a retired deputy sheriff. She had knee surgery last year after an injury suffered in the school failed to alleviate. “I would ne` er have that on my ain, “she said.
Fallon and Facebook
Michigan has elected the Democrats in the last five presidential elections. In 2008, Obama won the state of 16 Punkten.Ungeachtet the congressional elections in 2010, the party captured the governor’s office with both houses of the legislature.
Romney’s late father, the martyr, was a former car manager, who served three terms as governor of the state. “If Michigan gives me the victory, I will be the next president of the coupled-states,” predicted the GOP candidate in this month when he fought in the state.
Hold Fast in three cities in Michigan during a five-state bus, Romney lamented the budding national shortage, adding: “It’s just wrong for my generation to spend massively” and allow “young children with massive … debt stuck. “
Polls show the president enumerate and Romney neck and neck in.
Nationally, Obama has been much more aggressive in the small courtyard generation. In April, he “slow jam” message on his college loan “Late Night with chisels Fallon,” Fallon joked with smooth wind and lost. The video of the performance broke from 5.7 A million views.

unhappy, do not despair
The president’s strategy is not the fact that overall graduates unhappy with the status quo will be changed. In the Reuters / Ipsos poll said 54 percent of the land is next to the wrong path.
, which does not aim, they are desperate. Sixty percent of Americans say “can still live the American dream.” Only 17 pct think they will be less successful than their parents.
“I was really excited when Obama won,” said Joe Zmudczynski, a 2011 graduate of Ferris State University, Michigan. “Now he is my favorite.It’s not like your fingers and everything can engage larger. “

He returned to Michigan to live with his parents in February and has an insight, a new position.
, he said.
And yet, he sees hopeful signs. ” In 2008, with the foreclosures, there were signs everywhere for sale, “said Zmudczynski.”Now, Michigan is to drehen.Meine siblings bought homes recently and got good deals. Unemployment is not as bad as it was”

Most importantly, the auto industry, past an extract from national resources will be worn again roared to life. The Obama campaign does not miss an opportunity to inform Rust Belt voters that the President of the 2009 bailout of Chrysler and General Motors confirmed -. And “Let Detroit go bankrupt,” Romney does not

Henri voted for Obama in 2008 is simply a draw this year. “The economy is the main problem. I identify with Romney because he is a businessman. I just want to just start drawing up some money myself.”
On the other hand, he praised the president for “charisma,” he said, “did a good job with (Osama) container store,” adding: “It’s important.That he was getting an erection student loans “
With college debt of $ 25,000, is Henri’s true for Hochschulabsolventen.Die average costs of some exoteric and private universities has doubled in a lot of Cardinal decades.

We will pay Lone done from our student loan about eight years ago.”
Mention offered a sharp contrast with Romney, a former private equity manager with a net worth of more than $ 200 million. The GOP candidate had before,” the government demand for student loans Business “and” tax-payer for people who want to turn to college support. “
