Presidential Polling

While there is no point in this poll, since we get calls and I see results of daily polling on the news, I thought I would do a little research poll of my own. I have asked 4 children ages 3-10 who they would vote for, if they could, in the upcoming presidential election. Here are my results:

Emily- age 3 would vote for Tracey Turnblatt ( from the movie Hairspray)
Madison- age 4 would vote for her best friend Roni from daycare
Noah- age 8 would vote for Barack Obama
McKenzie- age 9 would vote for nobody- "I don't like neither"
Desirae- age 10 would vote for McCain- "McCain seems more skilled, he would be better to us"

I'm listening while the older 3 kids play the wii, and discuss what they have heard about the candidates and they are using words like abortion, creating jobs, and war. And while the girls feel sure Obama supports abortions, Noah tries to defend Obama saying he think they just said that on a McCain commercial.
