The real swing voters.

Well Churchill said it best..

"If you're twenty and aren't a Liberal, you don't have a heart. If your thirty and aren't a Conservative, you don't have a brain."
 
Problem is they don't vote.....every year they say they are gonna vote and make a difference, but they don't.
 
looks like the Dems could be loosing their "party of Youth."

American teens have spoken, and they want George W. Bush for president. Nearly 1.4 million teens voted in the nation's largest mock election, and the Republican incumbent wound up with 393 electoral votes and 55 percent of the total votes cast.

Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry received 145 electoral votes, far short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win a presidential election. Kerry received 40 percent of the total votes, while five percent of teens selected the third-party option, though no third-party presidential hopefuls managed to pick up any electoral votes.

In an exit poll taken after making their pick for president, teens weighed in on the issues most important to them. A majority of respondents-- 44 percent-- said that the war in Iraq was the most important issue facing the candidates today. The economy was the first priority in the minds of 22 percent of teens, followed by education (14 percent), national security (12 percent) and health care (8 percent).

For a more detailed look at how teens around the country made their choice, take a look at the chart below.

Good thing the teens wont vote . it'll be the college kids. Yout link says nothing to the specific of the age range they polled. if you poll my daughters 3rd grade class , most of the kids think that Bush will win, because there is a picture of him on the wall in their school.

I would say the age range was Teens. Thirteen to Nineteen.
