Almost as good as Lichtman’s keys!
48% of these kids frighten me.
Nah, it’s just kids parroting their parents views. I did the same thing as a child, and I’m about as far left as you can get as an adult.
Well in that case, 48% still frightens me.
Don’t worry. It all comes down to the hands of like 100k voters in a few random swing states.
Still not getting any less frightened
Some of us are trying our best in those random swing states
The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.
Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.
My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)
Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?
I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!
I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.
I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.
And Nickelodeon is where Paw Patrol is, so higher than average right wing subscribers?
I hope anyway. I wonder what a Disney kids poll would end up as. Or a PBS Kids poll.
But was that enough to win the Nickelodeon’s Kids Electoral College?
It wouldn’t be an electoral college in this case. It would be an electoral… middle school?
Take your upvote and leave.
They’re still looking into it. There is currently some debate about some ‘hanging Cheetos’ and they’re going to ask Mom and Dad to clarify some wording.
Helga Pataki* is demanding they recount Florida
*No I cannot make a more current Nickelodeon reference
That 48% makes me so fucking sad…
It’s mostly kids mimicking their parents feelings. Which is not the MOST sad. But still not great.
I think this is much sadder than just the parents thinking like this. Kids should get to be kids and start their lives unencumbered by their parents’ hatred and bitterness.
It’s 48% sad.
Hmmm. And what do you think happens when those kids grow up? Let’s connect the dots, eh?
Well, in 4th grade, I would have gone with Bush. I’ve deviated quite far from that.
Kids become their own people. It’s anybody’s guess as to what they do.
Yeah, my dad is a Trumper, and he can go fuck himself.
I don’t know, but I’m sure someone will sell them an assualt rifle with unlimited ammunition.
Unlimited? Ammunition is actually quite expensive.
Had some people in a duel enrollment (collage level) class tell me last Friday that they’d vote for trump because “he’s an asshole but I like his policies”
So who won the fight? What about at the watercolor level?
Let’s just say it looked like a Jackson Pollock by the end.
Don’t worry, at the collage level they’re just bringing a bunch of pictures together
that’s actually so funny I’m not gonna fix it lol
Yeah I mean… his policies are asshole policies it isn’t really the dodge they think it is.
“What policies?”
Don’t let them fool you, they are voting for him because he’s an asshole and they are assholes like them. It’s an epidemic in the US.
When Harris wins she needs to weaponize the military against the children who chose Trump. It’s only fair.
Kids Choice Army!
Kony 2024?
Imagine the shitstorm if she would’ve said that instead of Trump.
Imagine the shit storm of she wasn’t completely on-the-ball at every second of the campaign.
Which leads me to think she could actually be a good president if she wins 😅🤞
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Pick_the_President
“Since 1988, Kids Pick the President has accurately predicted the winner of each election with the exceptions of the 2004 and 2016 presidential elections.”
Yeah, those two are not good ones to get wrong.
If it was 2000 and 2016 I’d be more concerned
Maybe a little, but not much
In 2016 the kids favored Clinton by 17 points (36% Trump to 53% Clinton)
Those kids should have voted 3rd party instead of picking one of those two fascists.
/s
11% went for Johnson
Those kids are fascist too. They would have needed to write in Karl Marx or Che Gueverra for us to know for sure.
Well, that’s scary.
Watch this be correct and nickelodeon replaces Nate Silver as the new polling god.
Losing candidate gets slimed.
Trump would probably love it if the slime were yellow and less viscous
I’m sure Marc Summers would be willing to slime politicians.
48% to Trump is embarrassing. This country is failing our children.
48% of kids are dumb
100% of kids are dumb, 48% of them have Republican parents.
100% of kids are dumb. So far.
While I tend to agree, the only political news I got before I was 18 came from whatever news my parents had on the TV after dinner.
I trust dumb kids more than voting American adults
By 4% though. So nearly half the kids on the street you see want trump. That’s crazy.
Scarier than the current reality of some 50-ish% of voting adults wanting Trump?
Kids can’t do anything to me. But adults control the world right now.
Still, those kids can do something to you in the very near future. I’d still be worried. I was sure it would be like a 60/40 split at best. Yikes.
Remember it’s beneficial for the media when it’s 50/50. Either by only promoting those stories or by skewing the numbers
Parents voting or telling the kids how to vote.
Young boys have a hard time seeing sexism or arrogance as bad qualities.
I was an only child raised by a single mother, so I guess I have a relatively unique perspective. However, I’m pretty sure I knew both of those things were negative character traits from as early as I can remember.
So, now we know why the conservatives are so hell-bent on defunding the education system In America…
It’s for votes!
And the Dan Schneider feet award goes to…
This is why I don’t like mail in voting: People other than the voter can tell the person how to vote. It is just blatantly obvious in this case.
I would love to see the overlap of winners vs this poll.
