SInce everyone loves a poll -- here is a cute one...

Minor Vote
Latest poll is child's play for G. W.
Sunday, October 22, 2000 By Christina Nunez

— George W. Bush has scored an election lead in new poll results released Sunday, but the respondents in this case are not registered voters.
Children's cable network Nickelodeon anointed a Pied Piper of sorts when it announced Republican candidate Bush had won its "Kids Pick the President" poll with 55 percent of 330,798 votes. Democrat hopeful Al Gore picked up the remaining votes; other party candidates such as Ralph Nader were not on the ballot.

Though not a scientific poll, Nickelodeon's results have correctly predicted three of the last four elections.
If conventional wisdom holds that children and dogs can sense fear and ghosts, perhaps they can also detect election winners. The canine demographic, however, remains unpolled.
