More data on the young voters front:
NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire/ — Sen. John Kerry, who once held a
commanding, double-digit advantage over President George W. Bush among young
Americans, now finds himself in a statistical dead heat with the president
among voters aged 18-29, according to the latest Newsweek and Newsweek.com
GENext poll. While Kerry leads Bush within the margin of error, 45 percent to
42 percent, in February, 56 percent of 18-29 year-olds said they supported the
senator versus 42 percent who said they would vote for Bush.
The decline for Kerry among young voters comes as the candidate appears to
be losing ground overall. An AP/Ipsos poll of registered voters taken at the
time of the GENext poll showed Bush leading Kerry within the margin of error,
45 percent to 44 percent. Eight weeks ago, Kerry led Bush 48 percent to 45
percent in a Newsweek Poll.
