but the spin was like a top - most notably this admission -

Polls show that Americans under 30 are still inclined to support Mr. Obama by a wide margin.


(the underlined portion being the key).

This doesn't mean one rests on one's laurels but if anything, the the student loan interest rate reduction was just extended a couple days ago (signing ceremony still TBD), so that will provide a bump. And schools are out for summer but come fall, the machine will ratchet up. There may still be a lower turnout if they are that disengaged, but I think reaching them on social media is probably something that the NYT is missing as an element.
