so in 2010 the exit polls and census-based information that a our colleagues at tufts university and circle organize indicates and analyze was about one in four young people participated, about 24%. our poll indicated that 27% said they definitely would vote. this election, four years later, we see 26% of our young people 2 say they'll definitely vote, so we're looking at turnout numberv about the same levels that theyn were in 2010. but then when we look at those who say they're definitely going to vote, you see republicans are significantly more likely to say they'll participate than democrats, specifically romney a voters from 2012 are more enthusiastic about this election than obama voters from 2012.ic e so there are certainly indications that republicans are the more excited, more enthusiastic, more likely to participate. but i caution you, this is a national survey.rtic it includes millennials, as i said, 18-29, 2,000 of them, and we're looking at a large scale national mood and point of view, not necessarily focused on individual races and individual districts. >> host: okay.
