Call it Main Street 2.0, you don't have to look far in Ohio State University's campus to see signs: students are worried about the economy. 3rd year student Kieran Johnson is worried about what kind of job market he'll face.

“I’ll graduate,  hoping I can get something better. I mean, that's we were all told, to go to school, and you know, have a better life afterwards. At, at the point right  now, we don't really know that's true, so.”

For Amanda Kulcar, the concerns are more immediate like the price of gasoline. "Even groceries are increasing, it’s hard to, even get essentials like bread and milk has increased to a point that it's almost ridiculous to buy."

"They're scared, and their scared maybe is for the first times in their lives. This has been a several decade period of unusual prosperity.

"Political science professor Paul Beck says while these young voters may be scared, they're also enthusiastic about this presidential election. Seizing on that enthusiasm, volunteers saturated the campus to get students to register and vote early. And to see how coveted the youth vote is, consider that just a stone thrown from the nation's largest university of nearly 53,000 students is an Obama campaign office. Team Obama is offering students' rights to polling places.

Bruce Springsteen even performed at OSU on Sunday to try and drive turnout. "We were also here four years ago, this time we're winning."

In 2004, Democrat John Kerry lost Ohio to George Bush by a slim margin. Students for Obama say they believe they'll make the difference for democrats in this battleground state. On the Republican side, no McCain office on campus, just a couple of tables setups.

 But College Republicans here say Sarah Palin has lit a fire for them."Anytime you watch anything, it's all about, you know, Obama and the youth voter, how he’s gotten on, you know, locked down, and this is not the case, it’s simply not the case."Volunteers spanned out across Ohio State’s campus, leading up to Monday's deadline to register to vote. For the first time, people in Ohio have been able to register and vote on the same day. And campaigners are hoping that early voting will help secure votes from young people who in the past have been known to be eager to register, but haven't always been reliable in showing up on election day.
