Young Voters Are Thinking about Education

ThinkMTV/CBS released a poll with new results on young voters yesterday.

The results conclude that more young voters see education as a top issue now than they did a year ago. When asked to pick the top issue facing their generation, young voters chose education third, behind the economy and Iraq. When asked what is the "biggest problem your generation will need to address over the next twenty years" – young voters ranked fixing the education system third ahead of terrorism and health care. 

I'm encouraged to see that our nation's young men and women are concerned about education and understand the critical importance of a world-class education for the future of our country.
