Young voters who helped propel Barack Obama to the White House four years ago still support the president, polls show, but not as enthusiastically as they did in 2008. Tomorrow on the Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about the importance of the youth vote, discuss how Obama and Republican Mitt Romney intend to court young voters and find out what issues are most likely to resonate with them. Hint: Like everyone else, they want jobs. Join host Mike McIntyre at 9 on 90.3.
