PS: Political Science & Politics

ABSTRACTAs professors, we seek not only to impart knowledge about issues and concepts in American politics but also to engage and inspire students to become more knowledgeable and more active in politics. This article explains how a student-run exit poll conducted on Election Day 2016 accomplished both goals. Seven faculty members from four universities pooled our students and carried out an exit poll in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio. By the time the polls closed, our students had spoken to more than 2,300 respondents, providing a memorable experience and creating a shared dataset that served as the centerpiece for many final class projects. Through this project, students gained hands-on experience in survey design, sampling, research ethics, polling, and data analysis.

Background: Local control has historically been a prominent principle in education policy-making and governance. Culminating with the passage of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), however, the politics of education have been nationalized to an unprecedented degree, and local control has all but disappeared as a principle framing education policymaking. During the same period, policies imposed upon locales by state and federal governments have shifted from an emphasis on equity to accountability.

The number of citizens who cast their votes during presidential and primary elections continues to decrease. Many Americans claim that their lack of trust in the government is the reason. Yet, there is also an issue with the individuals that do cast their votes. The problem is that many citizens cast their votes without having enough knowledge to make well thought out decisions. The lack of knowledge has made several political scientists label American voters as unsophisticated for not having basic knowledge regarding the US government. The following review will provide an insight at some of the explanations that political scientists have concluded regarding controversial voter political behavior.

In this paper, we present preliminary voter turnout exit poll data reported on younger political cohorts in the 2008 presidential elections. The overall trend is that youth are turning out to vote at higher levels than in previous elections, and that they are becoming more liberal. Next, we report on a sample of youth who took part in a rigorous civic education high school program, We the People; the Citizen and the Constitution. The 300 We the People alumni demonstrated great interest and engagement in the political process. They clearly distinguished between the two parties by providing policy and ideological stances. Presidential candidates, especially Obama, reached out to younger voters in the 2008 election. However, being contacted during the campaign did not sway alumni's decision to turn out or to vote. Young voters were mobilized through their cell phones and their online networking sites, and were able to use a wide variety of online sources to gather information on candidates. The majority of alumni expressed optimism about the future of the nation, grounded primarily in the political institutions and the resourceful spirit of Americans.
