Study shows college students support Kerry

Washington, DC, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A national poll of college students Thursday indicated college voters prefer Sen. John Kerry over President Bush by 13 points.

In the survey from Harvard University's Institute of Politics, 52 percent of students favored Kerry and 39 percent supported Bush. Kerry's lead is even greater in 14 swing states, with Kerry winning by a 17-point margin there.

College-age voters have traditionally favored Democrats, but this poll also showed student interest and engagement in the election at record highs.

Nearly 72 percent of respondents said they are registered and "definitely" plan on voting in this election.

8. Apparently not, according to Bush twin Barbara
"We know colleges are not the easiest places to be Republican in the world," said Barbara Bush. "Some people think you're not supposed to vote Republican until you turn 40."

Had a long conversation with a Kerry voting recent college grad w/degree in Political Science last night.

He said there were "a few conservatives on campus".

5. Does anyone want to share a little paranoia with me? I have this
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 12:49 PM by higher class
feeling that naughty, or financially needy, rebellious, or show off students could take money for their Repub vote. What money? I think a lot of the money that is missing from investors and employees of corporations like Enron and money that is missing from the government is being used for a lot of payola - like funding everything Poland does in their coalition contribution. I believe they must have a secret sub-government treasury for a secret sub-government regime possibly enhanced by private contributions - treasuries similar to arms (and drugs?) that funded the Iran-Contra secret sub-government. Why should they be monetarily pure when they are policy deceivers and rights and lives thieves?

7. Unless the payor is in the booth with the payee...
Wouldn't matter if they were paid to vote. If they're naughty, need or rebellious enough to accept money for a vote, it's just as likely they'll turn around and vote how they want on election day. It's similar to the vote-traders. Unless you're filling out an absentee ballot at home, no one knows for whom the vote is cast.

9. Kerry should play this into "Educated people DON'T support aWol."
Look at the electoral map. Educated areas all support Kerry. Large industrialized areas whether it's steel, bio or computers the people support Kerry. ALL acedemic areas support Kerry no matter which state they're in. This should be equated to ALL children/youth (or all the Lords children) are moral in youth until they become corrupted by Satan on Earth, the GOP. That's why all colleges are supposedly "liberal". They are moral and honest until they eat the poision GOP apple and sell their souls to Satan for power and money.

As a contrast you have racist white rednecks and southerners and radical fascist Christians as the only supporters of aWol and the GOP. That's America if you can swallow the truth.
