Young people loved President Obama in 2008 — they turned out to support him more than any other recent Democratic presidential nominee.
But now, there's a new crop of young voters — the kids who came of age during the Obama presidency. They're are all grown up, and getting their first chance to vote for president.
They grew up in a different era — after Sept. 11 attacks and in the middle of the recession.
There's some indication that younger millennial voters are not as left-leaning as their big brothers and sisters. However, more still identify as Democrat than Republican, and a lot can change before they cast their first vote for president in 2016.
