Via Politico:

One bright spot for failed gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli comes from an unexpected corner: young voters, according to exit polls.

And the College Republican National Committee is set to take credit.

“The CRNC played an integral role in winning 18-24 year olds for Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli through a calculated messaging strategy aimed at young female voters,” reads a memo the organization is slated to release on Friday, reviewed first by POLITICO.

According to exit poll data posted by CNN, Cuccinelli beat Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe 45-39 percent with that group, though the Democrat won voters ages 25-29 by a margin of 50-35 percent.
