The story can be summarized by this excerpt: "Nationwide, at least two polls in the last week showed that newly registered voters favored Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry by double-digit margins. The Massachusetts senator holds an even greater lead, the polls found, among voters 29 and younger... A New York-based television consulting firm randomly questioned 1,225 voters over the Internet and concluded that "cell-only" voters favored Kerry by 53% to 38%." The conclusion is that the new voters and younger voters favor Kerry by a large margin, but *historically* they don't actually bother to vote. If they do.. this time, it will make a big difference
