DID YOU KNOW?

According to the CollegeClickTV.com Unorthodox Midnight Library Exit Poll
of 1800 Students Attending Ivy League Schools:

Do the polls influence who we think will win?

While 56 percent of those surveyed said they were voting for McCain, just under 55 percent believe Obama will win.

The majority do know what the Bush Doctrine is (72%)!

With the one exception of Columbia, every other Ivy League School polled does not support the Bush Doctrine. Overall, only 26 percent were in favor of it and 28 percent did not know what it was!

It’s the war, stupid!

The war (22.625%) was cited as the top issue of concern, slightly beating the economy (21%). These were followed by environment (17.125%), foreign policy (14.875%), healthcare (8.625%), terrorism (8.5%), and last on their list was taxes (7.25%).

Not even voting!?!?!

Five percent of those polled at the University of Pennsylvania are not voting and proud of it. This was followed by Dartmouth and Yale (both at 4%), Harvard (3%) and Princeton (2%), with Brown University, Columbia and Cornell trailing the pack (all at 1%).

Very few “non-decided” voters here–they are smart!

Both Princeton and Yale had no undecided voters! While Brown University, Columbia, Cornell and Dartmouth had only 1% and Harvard with 2%, it does seem like they have made up their minds.

What does Brown University know? Or do the polls influence the outcome?

Clearly Brown University students felt Obama was going to win (65%) which is a pretty strong opinion for a group who said they were voting for McCain (56%)!

Methodology of the CollegeClickTV.com unscientific and perhaps sleep-deprived midnight library exit poll: 200 students at each of the Ivy League Schools were polled as they left their school library after midnight. Those who agreed to answer were given four close-ended questions. A total of 1600 students participated. The polling lasted three nights.
