I was reading scholastic news to a sub class and it very informational. I read them an article about third party candidates recently. More kids should take them home for their parents to read.

In eighth grade we read about the JFK - Nixon race. I can't remember if we had a vote though.

That poll was not conducted in 2012, but it was done every 4 years between 1956 and 2008. It was only wrong once, in 1992.
