Although a majority of 18- to 29-year-olds approve of President Obama’s job performance, slight majorities disagree with his management of the economy and health care, and 55 percent disagree with his handling of Afghanistan, according to a poll released today by the Institute of Politics at Harvard University. Two-thirds of 18- to 29-year-olds oppose the recently announced plan to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Although young adults voted for Mr. Obama, 66 percent to 34 percent, his current 58-percent approval among that age group is closer to his 54-percent approval rating generally.

“…slight majorities disagree with his management of the economy and health care, and 55 percent disagree with his handling of Afghanistan…” What else is there with which to agree?

Of course 18-29 year olds disagree–they are the ones who will be going. The majority of 10 year old boys disagree with having to eat brussel sprouts.
