I realize people always say they expect the young voters to get out and support them and they never do, but I'm not talking about a mass movement. Most of these polls have the 18-35 demo at like 9% of their polling pool, and this demo favors Ron Paul over any other candidate in most polls. The thing is a lot of this demo is actually very active in meetup groups and what not, and the difference is that the ones trying to be self motivated will still have that abysmally low turnout rate, but the ones motivated by peer pressure, if nothing else, from these groups they've been attending will be much more lilely to actually show.

I'm not guessing every person in the low voting demo is going to show up and vote for Paul, but I'm guessing it will be closer to 15-20% the voting group (not a massive shift, considering the actual % of voting population in that demo) and most of the extra ones that do show up will already be attached to the Paul campaign.

Oh and head of NH repub party and Zogby say Ron will finish top 3 in NH. That alone would be huge for him because it'd really dig him out of being defined as a fringe candidate to the mainstream. Once he seems like an acceptable candidate people will be a lot more willing to think about him seriously. Momentum is all we need.

Also, he polls at 27% with independent NH voters leaning Republican (independents equal the number of dems or repubs, but I think like 60% of them are democratic, but that still means he's probably closer to 13-14% even right now) and they are allowed to participate in the Republican primaries if they show up and declare their party on site.
