It's an interesting year to be a political science major in college. At Oakland University, one class is studying the current general election.
Oakland University Professor Dave Dulio is teaching a political science class with plenty of material to work with now that the election is less than a week away.
He said, "Try to bring in some of the most relevant issues, discussions, polls, different dynamics, different strategies from the presidential race."
The class is made of mainly political sciences majors. Out of 23 students, 14 identify as Republicans and four as Democrats.
Donald Trump at 52%
Hilary Clinton at 28%
Jill Stein at 9.5%
Gary Johnson at 9.5%
After allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump and the FBI reopening its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, the class held another vote.
This time the results surprised the professor:
60% for Trump
26% for Clinton
13% for Johnson
0% for Stein
"Given that we are on a college campus which I would assume would have more Democratic support than republican, especially in a year like this."
Only four students changed their votes.
Sophomore Jason Ritter went from voting for Johnson to now voting for Trump.
"Since all the support is going probably to Trump I wanted to vote for Trump because I don't want Hilary," Ritter explained.
The students are learning about how campaign spending can affect the outcome of the election and how Michigan is one of the critical battle states.
All but one of the students in the class are registered voters, ready to cast their ballot Tuesday.
Senior Jacob Waxman said, "I feel like Trump will make the economy better for the whole country."
"Support Hilary because of her stance on climate change, social programs and just the way she communicates with the public, different races, different religions," senior Kelsey Pfau explained.
Professor Dulio added, "This election is unlike any we've ever seen on so many different levels and I think in a lot of ways the surprising results of our little class poll meets with the unexpected nature and unpredictability of this whole thing."
