The Johns Hopkins Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and the Institute of Politics (IOP) at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government will hold a forum, “The 2008 Elections: Tracking the Youth Vote,” on Thursday, April 24 at 11 a.m. During the forum, IOP will release its new national poll examining the political views of 18-24 year olds. Panelists include: - James A. Leach, IOP director, U.S. representative (R-Iowa) from 1977 to 2007 and SAIS graduate
- John Della Volpe, IOP polling director
- Jon Gould, IOP survey co-chair and Harvard undergraduate ’10

The IOP has been conducting regular polling of America’s young people for eight years, highlighting key trends and issues related to politics and public service. This spring’s poll results provide new in-depth data on 18-24 year olds’ views on issues central to the 2008 presidential race, including immigration, foreign policy and healthcare. The session, which is open to the public, will be held in Kenney Auditorium of the school’s Nitze Building, 1740 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.
