I think I found the rat....

Last time it was 500,000 students.

Now it is half that and through 12th grade???

So FOUR more grade levels? yet HALF the participants?

I bet those teenagers are going to sway it BIG TIME To Obama. rebelling against their parents views and such.

2004...

“conducted by Scholastic, the global children’s publishing and media company, more than half a million students in first through eighth grades from across the U.S. participated. They voted online and through mail-in paper ballots found in many of Scholastic’s classroom magazines.”

Excellent catch! You’re correct. The old polls that only went up to 8th grade were a better mirroring of what the kids’ parents thought because at that age they had yet to form opinions of their own. Big, big difference when you include 16, 17 and 18 year olds.

Great catch.

Apparently this new poll now goes up to high school, where the old Scholastic polls stopped at grade 8.

This means more kids are voting with their feelings than what they hear at home.

That should be comforting.
