Overall, youth turnout looks to be up. Turnout is up across the state - among all demographics - and young voters are currently projected to be 18% of the electorate - up from 14% in 2004. This means the hard turnout numbers (how many 18-29 year old actually cast a ballot) is also likely way up.
18 - 24 year olds: 11% of the electorate - Obama winning with 61% 25 - 29 year olds: 7% of the electorate - Clinton winning narrowly 37% - 34%
In Iowa, Obama carried both the 17-24 and 25-29 demographics with 57% of the vote. Clinton cutting into his lead among the older Millennials could be bad news for Obama.
Just now on CNN:
The Obama campaign is still holding out hope that they can pull this out tonight.

Clinton's lead has fallen below 3,000 votes (2,800 votes to be precise) for the first time in a while, and it has also fallen to 4 points for the first time in a long time (down from 6 points earlier on, but up from a brief 2 points). There seems to be a trend towards Obama -- though whether it will be enough for him to win by a decent margin or at all remains to be seen. Stick around...

City Breakdown: Clinton's Strongholds Are In, Obama's Are Not Add to Hotlist
by Transplanted Texan, Tue Jan 08, 2008 at 09:21:30 PM EST
Looking at specific city returns on MSNBC, the more progressive precincts have not yet reported. 70% of Manchester precincts are in - Clinton was leading the Manchester area in the final UNH poll 34-19-19. No precincts from Hanover, Lebanon, or Claremont have reported, but UNH gave Obama 42% of the vote in the Connecticut Valley. No precincts from Berlin have reported, but Obama was leading with 40% there.
The overall UNH poll had Obama up, 39-30, and so far we're seeing its regional predictions come true. Pay attention to which precincts have reported. Clinton's strongholds are in, Obama's and Edwards' are not. Let that speak for itself.
