Young Voters Favor Obama, Giuliani
Political Wire got an advance look at a new national poll from Harvard’s Institute of Politics which finds Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Barack Obama the top choices for president among likely 18-24 year-old voters of both parties.

Young Democratic voters "now appear to be more aligned behind a specific candidate than they were this spring, as the percentage of 'undecided' in their choice for president has significantly dropped since March (21% to 13%). In contrast, the percentage of 'undecided' likely Republican voters has increased slightly over the same period (28% to 30%)."

Key finding: Only 30% of young people believe that the two major parties do an adequate job of representing the American people, with 37% saying a third party is needed.

1. I find it worrisome that young men and women regard Giuliani as a role model

and worthy of office.
