Top issue among first-time voters is education
First-time eligible voters cite education as the top issue facing the nation by nearly a two-to-one margin over controlling nuclear arms and five-to-one over reducing the federal budget deficit and strengthening national defense. The national survey of 1,009 18-year-olds was conducted as part of Century 111 Leaders, a national student leadership development and scholarship program funded by the Shell Oil Company Foundation and administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). “Students realize that education needs to be improved, and we hope that the Bush and Dukakis teapoy are listening,” says Kimberly C. West, one of America’s top student leaders and the Century 111 Leaders spokesperson.
