Kerry Losing Youth Support

April 24, 2004 Posted by John at 7:57 AM

That's Newsweek's spin on the latest Genext poll, although the poll still shows Kerry leading Bush by three points among registered voters aged 18 to 29. Given the historically low turnout rates among voters in this age group, I don't think a registered voter poll means much. I like this line, though, from Newsweek's article on the poll:

[Y]oung voters’ faltering approval of Kerry is particularly surprising if only because the senator has sometimes seemed willing to do everything short of appearing in a Jessica Simpson video in order to attract youth support.

For what it's worth, I, personally, would be more than happy to appear in a Jessica Simpson video.
