NewsCurrents Poll Chooses Obama, 50% to 43%

Madison, WI, October 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The “voters” have spoken in the NewsCurrents Presidential Election Poll: Barack Obama will win re-election over Mitt Romney in November.

Although very few of the respondents to this national student poll are actually of voting age, this bodes well for the president. That is because the NewsCurrents poll has chosen the correct presidential winner every single time since the poll began in 1984.

President Obama finished with 50 percent of the votes, while Governor Romney totaled 43 percent. Other candidates tallied another seven percent, with Jill Stein of the Green Party as the highest third-party finisher. More than 3,000 students voted in the poll.

NewsCurrents is a weekly current events discussion program published by Knowledge Unlimited of Madison, Wisconsin. The program is used in K-12 schools and other educational facilities all across the country.

Since the first winner, Ronald Reagan in 1984, the NewsCurrents Presidential Election Poll has correctly foretold the winner in every subsequent presidential election. This record is unmatched by any other student poll in the United States.

“We’re very proud of the civic enthusiasm demonstrated by the students who voted in this poll,” said Judith Laitman, publisher of NewsCurrents. “They represent a real cross-section of America.”

“Although our poll is not scientific, our track record speaks for itself,” Laitman said.
