Do you think Obama will carry the youth vote in 2012? Has your perception of him changed since 2008?

Jocelyn Rudd

First-year, psychological science

“I don’t think he will (carry the youth vote) because a lot of stuff he promised wasn’t carried out. A lot of people are focused on that.”

Katrina Balian

Second-year, psychology

“I would vote for him. I like that he’s optimistic, charismatic. He’s good-looking.”

Salar Farahvar

Fourth-year, psychology

“So far, Obama has made good changes, like health care or cutting deficit spending, but we haven’t seen the outcome from them.”

Tiffany Paredes

Third-year, sociology

“It matters who he’s running against ““ who would you rather have? People aren’t really passionate about him. I think he was hyped up at first because it was different, but I don’t know if students care too much anymore.”
