A new poll has come out that shows young voters are favoring Rudy Giuliani and Barack Obama for President. You can read it here.
The poll asked voters between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, if they planned on voting in the primaries and general elections.
Thirty-one percent of Republicans said that they support Giuliani, while John McCain was second with fifteen percent. Fred Thompson came in third with nine percent. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul were tied with six percent, while Mike Huckabee registered four percent. Thirty percent said they were undecided.
On the Democratic side, thirty-eight percent support Obama, with Hillary Clinton gaining thirty-three percent. Coming in third was John Edwards with seven percent, and Dennis Kucinich got three percent. Thirteen percent said they were unsure.
Now, Obama leading is not surprising because he attracts very well to the youth. Giuliani's lead is a little more impressive, possibly showing Republicans that he may be the most electable. The youth vote may become very influential in the general election. Democrats usually always get this vote, however if the Republicans put up a candidate that can do well, then they could make this more interesting.
