Most if not all of the Polls are in fact talking to older adults. Has anyone polled the 18-25 year olds. I think the 18-25 range will be the ones that give Kerry the win.

or am I wrong?

1. they are polled
probably in proportion to how much of the electorate they were the last time.

2. This issue was raised yesterday.
THE issue of this campaign is to get the young folks out there in numbers - this would be good for Kerry.

8. ... or still living with their folks... haven't heard many people...
discussing this, but it could have as much affect on polls as the cell issue.

7. Exactly Right! This is a Huge Point!
Statistics show that the youth vote has picked the President in the last several elections. I think this is the group that is going to be most telling in this election and I believe 18-25 yr olds are overwhelmingly in favor of Kerry.

10. They've been polled and they voted for Kerry.
In the MTV Pre-election poll, which was largely 18-30 year olds, Kerry won.

Also, the really younguns voted for Kerry too (in the Nickelodeon vote).

11. The question, as in past elections, is will they vote in greater numbers?
