A QUARTER of young people in the US cannot name both presidential candidates, a survey by MTV, the music network, showed yesterday.

The findings indicate a growing trend of voter apathy among young Americans. Only 33 per cent of the 18 to 24-year-olds polled said that they would vote in the election, compared to 52 per cent in the 1972 presidential election. More than 70 per cent could not identify the candidates for the vice-presidential post and only 30 per cent said they were interested in politics.
