I would wager that a good 70-80% of people ages 18-25 watch those shows weekly, and the shows really do a good job of selling and advertising the democratic party in a humorous way. I can't remember who said it, but I once heard someone say that those two men are the two biggest reasons why Obama won the young vote so heavily. In this respect, I wonder how Colbert's exit will sit over with dem strategists.
You're kidding right?
70-80% of 18-25 watch it WEEKLY?
I don't think there has been any show in history with those type of ratings amongst the youth demographic let alone a political satire show.
I'm in college now and I would guess that most people have heard of the two shows, but less than 10% actually watch them regular. Furthermore, the kids that do watch them a lot lean to the left already who its not like they were persuaded.....
