The Kids are Alright

Weekly Reader kids select Bush in Presidential Poll

Since 1956, Weekly Reader students in grades 1-12 have correctly picked the president, making the Weekly Reader poll one of the most accurate predictors of presidential outcomes in history.

For the record, Bush crushed Kerry with over 60% of the vote: “President Bush was a strong winner in the student poll; the only state Senator Kerry won was Maryland.”

Update: And here are the results from the teens on the Channel One survey – it’s another Bush landslide. (Hat tip: John Miller)
