Survey says
- 46% would vote for John Kerry if the election were today, 40% for Bush and 4% for Ralph Nader.

- Although more young people back Kerry, some of his support may be rooted in a lack of alternatives. Among Kerry supporters, 29% support him because they dislike the other candidates. Only 5% of Bush supporters say the same thing.

- 82% of registered voters say they will vote this year.

- 74% say this will be one of the most important elections, if not the most important, of their lifetime.

- 58% think the country has gone seriously off track.

- 41% would like to hang out with Bush for a day, 28% with Kerry.

- 46% say this is their first time voting while - 53% say this is not their first time.

Poll conducted in September by CBS News of 876 18- to 29-year-olds on behalf of MTV and the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.
