Very interesting.
Young Blacks, living as many of them do in college dorms or with white roommates, are probably exposed to more "white thinking" than older Blacks, and may be more likely to experiment with the GOP.
Perhaps some Black men, especially younger ones, are turned off by what they see as the feminization of the Dem party and/or that party's focusing too much on women's issues (just as many, many white men are!)
In 1980, Black voters 65+ were Reagan's strongest age group among Black voters. By 1988, Black voters under 30 were Bush's strongest age group among Black voters. This trend reflects the overall voting population.
According to one survey, 100% of Black women under 30 voted Obama in 2008.
