Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A national poll of college students Thursday indicated college voters prefer Sen. John Kerry over President Bush by 13 points.
In the survey from Harvard University's Institute of Politics, 52 percent of students favored Kerry and 39 percent supported Bush. Kerry's lead is even greater in 14 swing states, with Kerry winning by a 17-point margin there.
College-age voters have traditionally favored Democrats, but this poll also showed student interest and engagement in the election at record highs.
Nearly 72 percent of respondents said they are registered and "definitely" plan on voting in this election.
The students most often cited the economy as the most important issue for them in this election, followed by Iraq and terrorism.
Bush led on questions of which man is a stronger leader and who takes clear stands on issues, but Kerry won on who would make a better commander-in-chief.
