Teen Ink, an online magazine written for teens by teens, publishes weekly polls on their site. Past polls have included “Which Social Networking Site Do You Use?” and “If You Could Have a Superpower What Would It Be?”, but the one I found interesting was “Where Do You Stand Politically?”

We tend to think that teens are generally worried about how to get rid of acne, who they are hanging out with after school, or what music is on their iPods. Today’s teens, however, are becoming more politically active. While most tend to have their parents belief system, teens are starting to have their own voice as well.

The poll had the following results:

Moderate – 28%
Liberal – 25%
Very Liberal – 17%
Conservative – 17%
Very Conservative – 10%

What would be interesting is to ask these same teens how they stand politically in twenty years when they have had a chance to get a job and start raising a family.
