Poll: Kerry leads Bush among students Harvard poll suggests 48 percent for Kerry, 38 percent for Bush Thursday, April 15, 2004 Posted: 12:48 PM EDT (1648 GMT) cnn.com WASHINGTON (CNN) -- College students responding to a poll released Thursday said they favor Democratic presidential contender Sen. John Kerry over President Bush by a 10-point margin and have become substantially more dissatisfied with Bush over the past six months. The survey by Harvard University's Institute of Politics (IOP) comes amid increasing focus on the nation's youngest voters. <more> Excerpt: The survey used a new method "for assessing the political ideology of America's college students," the IOP said. A combination of 11 different questions determined that "the old 'liberal' and 'conservative' labels do not fit more than half of today's college students, who are mostly centrists and highly independent." The largest number, 41 percent, identified themselves as independent. The survey found that fewer now identify as Republicans -- 24 percent, down from 31 percent in the fall. Democrat identification increased from 27 percent to 32 percent. The students' votes are likely to have an impact on the general election. Sixty-two percent of respondents said they will "definitely" vote in November, while 21 percent said they "probably" will vote.
