Harvard Institute of Politics says Millennials breaking for GOP.

I honestly don't know how many more times I'll have to say it. We have to earn the votes. We have to give people something to vote for, instead of praying that our enemy commits suicide.

Cambridge, MA – A new national poll of America’s 18- to 29- year-olds by Harvard’s Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, finds slightly more than half (51%) of young Americans who say they will “definitely be voting” in November prefer a Republican-run Congress with 47 percent favoring Democrat control – a significant departure from IOP polling findings before the last midterm elections (Sept. 2010 – 55%: prefer Democrat control; 43%: prefer Republican control). The cohort – 26% of whom report they will “definitely” vote in the midterms – appear up-for-grabs to both political parties and could be a critical swing vote in many races in November.

But the bad news doesn't stop there.

The IOP’s fall poll finds young whites disapprove of President Obama’s job performance by more than a two-to-one margin (31% approve, 65% disapprove) while African-Americans continue to show a strong loyalty to the president, giving him a 78 percent approval rating (17% disapprove). This approval gap (47 percentage points) among Whites and African-Americans is significantly wider than the 36 percentage point gap in Obama’s approval rating between African-American and whites found in fall 2009 IOP polling. On the question of which party should control Congress, young whites preferred Republicans over Democrats by a 53 to 40 percentage point margin. African-Americans, meanwhile, said by a 68 to 23 point margin that they preferred Democrats running the legislative branch. Among Hispanics, Democrats also fared better, with 59 percent preferring a Democrat-controlled Congress with 34 percent wanting Republican control.

I said this was bad news, let me explain. 93% of Blacks voted for President Obama in 2012. That means that the best that can be said is that we've lost about 25% of the black community.

The Democratic Party perfect opposing party candidates are best represented by the old Monty Python movie Life of Brian.

When the Republicans aren't willing to actually do that, we have a fight on our hands. Something we're utterly unprepared for.

Um, GOTV, or something. Go team blue.
