President Obama Succeeds President Kerry

Barack Obama won the Kids Pick the President election by Nickelodeon:

In this election year's Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote", Senator Obama received 51% of the vote (1,167,087), and Senator McCain received 49% (1,129,945).

That Obama only beat McCain in a poll of Nickelodeon Kids by a mere 2% is telling. John Kerry won the Kids Pick the President vote in 2004 by a 14 point margin. True, the turnout in '04 was far less (about 20% of this year's) but Obama's 2-point margin about young people indicates a soft bottom with the Obama campaign.

Nick has been increasingly far left over the years. While in 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000, Nick kids successfully picked the winner, 2004 was a jump the shark moment for the kids poll.

Given Obama's charisma, the pro-Obama environment of the media, Nick's PC bias, and the impressionability of young minds, Obama ought to have won this 60-40% at least. 

If kids are voting 51-49% for Obama, I wouldn't rest easy if I were in Camp Obama.
