Young Americans still like papers

Young people in the United States still like newspapers, according to a Harvard survey. Asked for their preferred source of political news, 49% of 18 to 29-year-olds - nicknamed the millennials - named papers.

The survey, by the Harvard University Institute of college students, hitting the 60% mark.

However, the poll does not differentiate between the print and online platforms (surely a bad flaw).

The poll also showed rebounding support for President Obama among the so-called millennials, whose approval of his performance ducked below the 50% line last October. This time around, 55% said they approved.

The survey relied on web-enabled interviews of 3,018 people, aged from 18 to 29, and it carries a 2.4% plus/minus error margin.
