Poll finds support shifting away from Bush, a change since October survey

A new national poll by Harvard University's Institute of Politics suggests that Democratic presidential contender Senator John F. Kerry holds a 10-point lead over President Bush among America's college students.

The findings mark a significant shift in political sentiment among young voters since a similar Harvard survey in October indicated greater support for Bush.

A shaky economy, the war in Iraq, and the ongoing debate over legalizing gay marriage have shifted the college vote in Kerry's favor, researchers said. Forty-eight percent of the respondents said they would vote for Kerry if they had to vote today. Thirty-eight percent said they would vote for Bush.

4. One could mention the probability of a DRAFT.

If Bush is re-elected. I think that would get their attention.
