Are young people getting worried about Obama?

A new report from the American University School of Communications notes that young adults - who helped elect President Barack Obama - are expressing concerns about some of his policies.

"While young adults 18-29 years old expressed positive feelings toward the president personally and about his overall performance, the polls indicate doubts about Obama’s handling of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as split opinions about his handling of health care," the report says.

"While the sample sizes of young adults are small, the findings suggest that the President may be seeing some erosion in support from his more enthusiastic supporters."
