Kids Favor Kerry (44-38 in poll)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Kids are smart these days!

....According to the Myers/Neopets.com Political Poll conducted online for the week beginning July 26, 2004:

* 44 percent of the respondents would vote for John Kerry if the election was held today and they were old enough to vote;
* 38 percent would vote for George W. Bush;
* 1 percent would vote for Ralph Nader;
* 11 percent were undecided


These numbers contrast the results of the Myers/Neopets.com Political Poll conducted during the week beginning July 12, prior to the Convention. In the pre-Convention poll, Bush led Kerry 41 percent to 40 percent in a virtual dead heat, with 10 percent being undecided and 2 percent saying they would vote for Nader. Additionally, only 60 percent of young people polled knew the names of the candidates in the first poll.

"Young people represent the most media savvy and sophisticated generation in history," states Jack Myers, editor of the Jack Myers Report (http://www.jackmyers.com), in the Report's August 16, 2004 issue. "They actively use the Internet more than any prior generation; they have greater access to multiple news sources and are more aware of national and global events than previous generations because of their access to alternative media...."

1. I have 2 pro-Kerry Kids!

Mostly due to the No Child Left Behind act for the 9 year old and the 6 year old feels the current shrub in that office looks too much like a chimp to hold that office.

Kids are about as bright as their parents. Too many dim kids, but the kids I can forgive...The parents on the other hand....
