Heather Smith, president of Rock the Vote, talked about their new poll about the impact of young voters on elections. She also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.

Conducted nationwide August 24-30th, 2010 among 1,000 18-29 year olds, the data from this Rock the Vote poll unveils young voters attitudes towards Congress and national leaders like President Obama and Sarah Palin and their interest in the upcoming election. It also looks at their political affiliations and positions on critical issues that will be debated during the 2010 midterm election cycle, such as the war in Afghanistan, marriage rights, energy policy, sexual health education and immigration. http://www.rockthevote.com/about/about-young-voters/polling/
