Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 24 (UPI) -- Young Democrats overwhelmingly support U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president, according to a poll by Harvard University's Institute of Politics.
The poll, released Thursday, found that likely Democratic voters ages 18 to 24 say they support Obama over Sen. Hillary Clinton, 70 percent to 30 percent, for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The poll also indicates that 53 percent of respondents said they would support Obama in a hypothetical head-to-head general election contest against Sen. John McCain, who had 32 percent support.
In a match-up between Clinton and McCain, she would lead 44 percent to McCain's 39 percent.
"The story of this presidential race could very well come down to which campaign can inspire and mobilize the youth vote the best," said IOP director James Leach.
"Young people are focused on the issues and challenges facing America. They care deeply about the war in Iraq, but like the rest of the country are increasingly concerned about the economy," he added.
The online poll of 2,452 18-24 year-old U.S. citizens was conducted by Harris Interactive between March 11 and April 1, 2008. The poll's margin of error was not calculated.
