Poll question: Poll for College Students (and parents of college students only)
College students pretty much all have cell phones.

Who are college students voting for?

If you are a college student or you have a child who is a college student - what is the buzz where you are?

Are college studnts worried about the draft etc and the war. Are they pissed about the cost of education and worried about jobs when they get out and their loans and health care?

Or are they middle class or whitre collar children who LIKE the status quo etc.

1. I'm not a parent or college student but
a kid who's a junior in college interns at where I work.

He says almost all the kids he talks to our voting for Kerry.
Of course, I live up in CT but it's still a good sign that the college kids are interested.

2. My kid is at Berkeley
so Kerry is a given. He said there is a small Republican club but everyone laughs at them.

3. Berkeley College Republicans
I'm at Berkeley too but I just wanted to say that the Berkeley College Republicans is supposedly the biggest club on campus.

4. Too many RW'ers in my area. It looks like * country unfortunately.
I see too many cars on the campus lots with * bumper stickers on them. Pisses me off.

6. Almost 80% say Kerry is clearly ahead so far here
mostly parents though saying Kerry is ahead at their kids' college.

Wonder how strong that is.

I think only the students can really tell us but I figure folks who post at DU who have college kids probably have their kids at hip colleges.
