...these the first signs that the system is slipping from Putin's control? The poll numbers are not good. Earlier this month, the Romir polling agency reported that 49% of respondents in a nationwide survey felt that the country was heading into a "dead end" - 20% more than the previous year. The Public Opinion Foundation, a polling outfit regarded as well disposed to the President, released a survey last week showing that his popularity has dropped from 48% to 43% in just over two weeks.

Maybe the twixters are in denial about growing up, but the rest of society is equally in denial about the twixters. Nobody wants to admit they're here to stay, but that's where all the evidence points. Tom Smith, director of the General Social Survey, a large sociological data-gathering project run by the National Opinion Research Center, found that most people believe that the transition to adulthood should be completed by the age of 26, on average, and he thinks that number is only going up.
