' one group has quietly predicted the winner of the presidential election every four years since the Eisenhower administration, kids."

The Boston Red Sox haven't won the World Series since the Woodrow Wilson administration.

Angry

These kids have been right about every election since the Eisenhower administration?
Do the math!

It's obvious these pollsters have been duped. They can't still be kids. They have to be midgets! Sure they were kids back when they 'liked Ike' but, now they like Bush?
Didn't the wrinkles give them away?

I know everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame but this is ridiculous.

the kids poll done by Nickelodeon has correctly picked the last four winners. This year they have Ketchup by a landslide.

Yep some do, if your gonna quote me tho id like credit. Maybe a lil asterick and then at the bottom my name, that would be cool.

Children dont know jack about politics and many adults dont either for that matter, this poll was voluntary not random as the article states. It is a fun little fact tho however unscientific it is.

My vote is for JD No. 7 mustard, quite tasty.

What is scary is that I trust most kids judgement over adults. I know kids who have more thoughts than most adults!

Assuming it's not the same group of kids each time , it could be that young kids have retained some immunity to bullsh**.

Young kids don't have to worry about what they say in public, concerning their political views. The other kids aren't going to ostracize them from nap time or recess. The same isn't true for many grown-ups. What their parents say in private, and how they actually end up voting, may differ from what they say in public. Or even how they reply to a poll.

What is funny is how democrats always play like they care about the “children”. It’s like a democrat trying to give a child a kiss and the child smacks them back up side the head…
