On the Democraticside, Barack Obama has an edge among this age group, while on theRepublican side, it is less clear.

One potential presidential candidate who should not feel encouragedamong the 18-24 year-old demographic, or any other, is New York CityMayor Michael Bloomberg, whom two-thirds of Californians say they would not support, according to the Field Poll.
