Democrats can take comfort that a new generation of voters is leaning our way, according to a New York Times poll released this morning.

Younger workers back universal health care, marriage equality, and comprehensive immigration reform. And they're fired up about Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, with 54 percent saying they will side with a Democrat for president. Once more, "they have continued a long-term drift away from the Republican Party," says the analysis of the poll.
