Newsweek, by Jonathan Darman

April 22 - Sen. John Kerry, who once held a commanding, double-digit advantage over President George W. Bush among young Americans, now finds himself in a statistical dead heat with the president among voters aged 18-29, according to the latest NEWSWEEK/GENEXT poll.

1. You know, I simply cannot believe Imperial Pravda any longer

Like the Soviet Citizenry in 1978, we are on our own.

ALL Lies. If there's truth in any of it it is impossible to sift our of the 90% bullshit.

This might be true.

Probably not.

2. They can't wait to be DRAFTED

3. I don't believe that

I talk to a lot of people my age and they dislike Bush because of the war and his position on social issues such as gay marriage.

4. As a 17 year old, I too find this hard to believe

5. margin of error is 5.2%

It's hidden down at the bottom of the article.

And only 300 something interviewed.

Lamest. Poll. Ever.

6. Wiretap Mag makes me believe...

...that the young people of this country are more in touch, aware and concerned about the future of our country than the pollsters would like us to believe.

I'm so impressed with this site that I've emailed this link to each of my 4 kids... (2 are away at school, and 2 live on their own)

I'd like to believe that this site reflects one of the many true faces of our youth... facing the future with a realistic outlook...

Poll Says Students Support Kerry
By KIMBERLY A. KICENUIK
Crimson Staff Writer


College students are more likely to identify themselves as independents and support John Kerry than to classify themselves as Democrats or Republicans or vote for President Bush, according to a survey released yesterday by the Institute of Politics (IOP).

The poll, which surveyed 1,205 college students nationwide, revealed that Senator John F. Kerry, D-Mass., leads President Bush by 10 percentage points and that 41 percent of students identify themselves as independents.

Despite Kerry’s significant lead, which appears to reflect increasing disapproval of the war in Iraq, a continued weak job market and the White House’s stance on gay marriage, more than 37 percent of college students say they still do not know enough about Kerry’s political views.
