Satwik submitted a post that got caught for moderation, text is below,
but as one of your friendly moderators, I'll point out that the actual
poll results are available at
http://www.cnn.com/POLL/results/201861.html
And they chime in at
Yes 51% 41284 (Freshman should be required)
No 49% 40428 (Freshman should not be required)
Total 81712
