WHAT A DIFFERENCE The Teen Primary results contrast sharply with the way the campaign has been going so far. Among the Democrats, Gore has been pulling steadily ahead of Bradley, and among the Republicans, Bush has been doing better than McCain. But in some cases the margin of victory for Bush has been small enough that teens could have made a difference if the voting age were lower. In fact, in Iran, where the voting age is 16, young people recently demonstrated just such clout. Teens also chose to vote for Republican candidates in surprisingly large numbers. Among the voting population, the numbers of Republicans and Democrats are about even, but 65 percent of Upfront readers voted for Republicans, while only 34 percent voted for Democrats.
