CNN Poll: College kids breaking heavily for Kerry, plan to vote!

[xyboymil]

College students say they are much more interested in politics this year, more likely to identify with a party and more likely to vote, a new Harvard University study shows.

And it appears a majority of those responding to the survey intend to vote for Sen. John Kerry.

snip-

The 10-point lead that Kerry held over President Bush in a March survey has grown to 13 percent.


While Bush's support among students has remained consistent, many undecided voters have moved into the Kerry camp.


In swing states, Kerry's lead is even higher, about 16 percent. Swing-state students also are saying they are more likely to vote than students in non-swing states.

Women are far more likely to support Kerry. The race is about even among males.

[bush equals idiot]

9. Not only that.

I'm technically not in this group anymore (summer '04 graduate), but I think I can still speak for my generation.

It's college costs.
It's gasoline costs.
It's the JOB MARKET. (BTW, Mr. SNOW -- calling it a myth and openly supporting outsourcing ain't winning any of our votes.)
It's worrying about the draft, and not believing the *bushit.
It's worrying for our friends who enlisted and are in Iraq now.
It's even the Marriage Amendment--my generation as a whole does not like it. Even for heteros, we have gay friends, unlike many of our parents when they were our age--because it is acceptable now to come out.

Bush represents the worst aspects of the past, and nobody likes a reactionary.

I can feel it -- THE 18-24's ARE GOING KERRY BIG TIME!

6. Massive GOTV effort here in NH

At Dartmouth, over the last few weeks, we've been compiling a database of all students and how they plan to vote. All of them (the kerry supporters, that is) will get rides to polls and multiple reminders to vote on election day. And we get a lawyer at the polling station to help us vote, which will be hella helpful.

7. Thats great. When Kerry wins it will be because of new voters. nt

8. In Maine the Repub lawyers last time were on campus and fucking

the student's over. So Maine passed a law. Now you can register to vote on the day of the election and all you need is a piece of mail with your name on it with a Maine address (one of the accepted forms of ID)!! So they had the article in the paper and the repub lawyers being interviewed said this time they couldn't be challenging and thus turning away all those kids BUT that they would be on campus AND FIND SOMETHING. I hope the student's tie the fuckers to trees and use them for dart boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
