 COLLEGECLICKTV.COM “POLLING THE SMARTIES”

Unscientific Midnight Exit Polling Conducted at the Ivy League Libraries

NEW YORK (October 21, 2008) – With fourteen days left until what is shaping up to be the biggest election turnout in history, Obama shouldn’t get his bags ready for the White House just yet. Not if the “youth vote,” who can easily swing this presidential election and is excited to shape the decision, comes out to vote in masses.

According to an exit poll conducted by CollegeClickTV.com–an online website geared toward helping high school juniors and seniors make informed college decisions through unscripted peer-to-peer review video content on the college experience–the trend at the eight Ivy League colleges is the same. They live in “blue” states…but they intend to vote “red”…although majority does predict a Democratic victory!

Some of the highest-ranked academic institutions of the country may all be located in “blue” states but the students and potential swing voters aren’t so easily influenced by their neighbors, with 56 percent saying they intend to cast their vote for McCain.

While Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, and Cornell exit polls showed greater support for Obama, Brown University, Columbia, Dartmouth, Yale, and Princeton did not. Although the numbers were very close, no matter which candidate the “generation only accessible by cell phone” was voting for, ironically 55 percent predict Obama will still be elected as the next president.

"Even though there are obviously so many unknown factors that make accurate presidential campaign polling a challenge, we thought it would be particularly interesting to go to what many consider the elite academic institutions of the country and find out what they think,” said CollegeClickTV.com partner Eric Yaverbaum. “As a parent who has looked at just under 1000 hours of some very insightful video footage that Videople LLC has shot over the last year to capture the entire college experience for the website, and also one who just so happens to be looking with my high school daughter…it’s been enlightening, to say the least!”

And when it comes to the IVY midnight mentality on the top three issues that are most important to them, even with talk about the financial crisis making daily headlines, the economy (21 percent) fell short to their number one issue…the war (23 percent). Issues on the environment rounded out third at 17 percent.

CollegeClickTV.com founding partner Glenn Pere said, "We’ve spent the last year filming video of every aspect of college life from academic programs and sports programs to social life. We’ve already got over 200 of those schools up on our site today with another 200 to go up in the next six months.

While 72 percent of the students polled at least knew what the Bush Doctrine was, compared to our Republican vice presidential nominee, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, it did not seem to play a big role in which candidate they were intending to vote for –although 46 percent do not agree with it.

Pere adds, “The students answering our poll were burning the midnight oil to get even smarter! These are the country’s intellects. What a great way to determine the presidential results based on the real “electoral colleges.”
