Have teens been a fairly good predictor in the past?? I think they have.
I think that in general they reflect their parents’ votes.
I have not seen the “My Weekly Reader” poll this year but it used to be a very solid predictor of what the parents were choosing as they spoke with their kids.
Maybe MWR has discontinued because it was “too white” or perhaps it became too gay-friendly to have sitting around the average household or maybe children just don’t read anymore and it has become “My Weekly App”.
