If California exit polls were right, and 28% of the electorate was 18-29 years old, then at least in California almost all of the trend to Obama could be explained by that. At first I thought that number was completely wrong, but now I am thinking there may have been a huge youth turnout to support Prop 30 and they voted for Obama as well, and the youth in California is much more Asian and Hispanic than the electorate at large.

Yes, it is likely Obama won the white 18-29 vote outside the south. Also Romney won that group 51-44, not 54-45.
