Results in for Super Student Day Mock Election
YLI concluded its first ever Super Student Day Mock Election with students from thirty-seven states weighing in on the potential Republican candidate for President. Approximately ten thousand students offered their opinions on the Republican Primary, political party affiliation, political ideology and current political issues.
The YLI Super Student Day Mock Election is not an accurate predictor of the general election outcome, nor is it a scientific poll, and it should be evaluated only as an educational tool for students.
YLI will hold its 2012 National Mock Election October 22 through November 1 during the lead-up to the 2012 national elections.
