If it were up to America's youth, President Obama would be re-elected by a landslide. 65 percent of the 520,000 kids who participated in Nickelodeon's "Kids Pick the President" election cast their online ballots for Obama. Perhaps the president's popularity was influenced by the fact that he--unlike his opponent--agreed to answer Nick viewers' questions for a special earlier in October. Underaged voters have predicted election winners since Nickelodeon started asking its young viewers to weigh in 1988--except when they chose John Kerry to replace George W. Bush in 2004.
