Poll Finds Pro-Kerry Vote Fever at Colleges

L.A. Times: Drawn by the war in Iraq and an uncertain economy, college students are showing more interest in politics this year than they did in 2000, and they favor Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry over President Bush by 13 percentage points, according to a poll released Thursday by Harvard University. Voter turnout among young people has fallen steadily since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote in 1972. But in the new poll, 84% of students said they would 'definitely be voting' this year, compared with 50% who said so in the spring of 2000, when the Harvard Institute of Politics began surveying the population.
