Unfortunately this has been an accurate way of predicting the president historically.

The results are Obama 51% and Romney 46%.

Yes, because according to this, Obama will carry Florida, North and South Carolina and Arizona, and Romney will carry Texas by 2%. Need we really say more?

I imagine the teachers are much more outspoken politically nowadays than historically.

If you are under 30 and are a conservative, you have no heart.

If you are over 30 and are a liberal, you have no brains.

I’ve bookmarked it and will compare on election night. I trust the Colorado study more than the Scholastic vote.

Exactly. Obama is just a pop culture president so more young kids know of him. that’s about it. And he’s the current sitting pres they see all of the time on TV. It’s about familiarity and nothing more.

And, of course... all this without one smidgen of pro-left prodding by teachers.

My children get Scholastic Magazine at school. They just came home from school and I told them the Scholastic vote was in. They looked at me like I was an alien. I guess Catholic schools did not get that issue.

” Unfortunately this has been an accurate way of predicting the president historically. “

That was before Obama tried to destroy our country.

Demographics.

Older population and poor families tend to be larger.

And there is the illegal alien issue...

I’m sorry, but how many who voted were illegals and anchor babies?

If you look at the border state statistics, it looks like they comprise quite a bit of the people voting.
