Among College Students, Kerry leads Bush 48% to 38%

"College students favor Democratic presidential contender Sen. John Kerry over President Bush by a 10-point margin and have become substantially more dissatisfied with Bush over the past six months, according to a poll released Thursday.

The survey by Harvard University's Institute of Politics (IOP) comes amid increasing focus on the nation's youngest voters."

2. I am hopeful there will be a better turnout

among college students. CNN said that many had switched their support from Bush to Kerry because of Iraq. I know that my very-Republican nephew (a college student) was expressing doubts about Bush because of the war when I last saw him at Christmas.

5. Keep whispering Draft in their ears and no college deferments!

Though I'd love to see all those Young Republicans drafted in to the Army and given some tough-ass DI.

6. Among this college student, Kerry leads Bush 100% to 0%.

I'm happy other college students are starting to feel the same way.
