Researcher comments the youth of U.S.A. and Obama
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
One of the characteristics that had more called the attention in the presidential campaign of the United States was the support of youth the Barack Obama. The research indicates 60% of the youthful vote (18-29 years) for the candidate, against 30% for its rival John McCain. The young electorate is formed by 44 million people, about 25% of the total.

In the 2000 elections, the Democratical Party had 2% more than the votes of this etária band of what the Republican. In 2004, 9%. However, the preference of youth for Obama does not mean the youthful adhesion to a partisan doctrine or a leader. It is before the consequence of the new generation citizen, who if politically became active in way the tragedies attempted against them of 11 of September of 2001, them wars in Iraq and the Afeganistão, of the economic crisis and a series of scandals involving the government Bush.

Skepticism ahead of the tradition

the current generation has been called? Millenium? ? Y? or? After-Everything? , and traditional politics would be marked by the skepticism ahead of the leadership. In the opinion soundings, almost 80% of the youth of the United States affirm that it does not support none of the two main parties or that it would like to see alternatives. Since its campaign for the Senate, in 2004, Obama has demonstrated well-taken care of in preventing the polarization, defending the construction of new consensuses, that exceed the partisan division, and nailing to the negotiation between groups adversaries, as much in the United States how much between the country and hostile foreign nations.

The candidate also conquered youthful support for its emphasis in on subjects to the quality of life, in particular the agenda of environment, alternative change of the climate and energies to the oil. Youth has revealed much more interest for these subjects of what the people oldest, whom if they show cautious in abandoning the traditional models.

I appeal it to? change? - main motto of the campaign of Obama - it does not have to be subestimado. In last the 20 years, the White House was busy for presidents who belonged to the families Bush or Clinton. Most of the young electorate lived only this period and the renewal will was one of the factors that the defeat of Hilary Clinton in the democratical primary explained. It had only 30% of the youthful votes, therefore, in great measure, the people in this etária band had identified with the status quo to it conservative, and had searched something new and different.

Increasing attendance, but still low

Obama well-was succeeded not alone in conquering the support of the young electorate, but also in making with that youngsters and young women were to the ballot boxes. In the United States the vote is facultative, and alone it is allowed for greaters of 18 years. Since the decade of 1970, the tax of youthful electoral attendance is almost always lesser that 50%, while the adult is above of 65%.

The indices had started to go up? for all the etárias bands? from middle of this decade. In the 2008 primary, it had the double of youthful participation of what in 2000. It stops beyond the enthusiasm with Obama, the increase also elapses of the emphasis that the campaigns of all the parties have given to the new technologies of information, using widely instruments as YouTube, sites of relationship as Facebook and MySpace, and messages sent by cellular. It has diverse not-governmental organizations and dedicated social movements to stimulate the young electorate.

Still thus, the research points that little more than the half of youth will go to the ballot boxes in 4 of November, what shows to great level of apathy and disinterest with the partisan politics, exactly ahead of a dispute so incited and with so important questions in game. In the current rhythm of population growth of the United States, in 2015, one terço of all the votes will be of people with less than 30 years. How these youngsters and young women will behave with regard to the main subjects of the public agenda?

A new agenda politics

the legacy with which the youth of the United States necessary if to confrot is difficult. In last the thirty years, the social inaqualities had increased very, placing the country with the worse index in this area between the developed nations. The quality and availability of diverse public services, as education and health, diminished.

The new generation is more diverse of the ethnic point of view. About 1/3 it is of African, Latin American or Asian ancestry. Its vision politics is more favorable to the politics of affirmative action and the aid to immigration. Also it has more tolerant positions with regard to the homossexualismo, also to the marriage between people of the same sex. In general way, they favor greater participation of the State in the daily life.

The problems that worry them are familiar to the ones of South American youth: work and education dominate the distrusts how much to the future. In the first aspect, the fears with regard to the high index of youthful unemployment are distinguished and to the decreasing income for some population segments, over all people with little professional qualification. In as, the unreliabilities reflect educational the costs high, in particular in the university.

Obama wrote a book that, in great measure, is its platform of campaign, and it gave the heading to it of? The Audacity of the Hope. In fact, the desire of better days is an intense demand in the United States of today, but frequently the feeling is refreado by the fear of changes. The public opinion conservative has ironizado the youthful support the Obama, comparing it it the paramilitary Hitlerista Youth or groups. Extreme-right organizations, as bandos racists, had divulged videos threatening it of death, and the hatred shouts had been given by young. Between these contradictory feelings, the youthful electorate will have important paper in the definition of the future of the United States.
