newline doesn't have whitespace syntax?

When I read this in the elisp manual:
"Space, tab, newline and formfeed are classified as whitespace in almost all major modes."
(35.2.1 Table of Syntax Classes)
I assumed that this re-search-forward _expression_ would match the line following it, but no dice.
(re-search-forward "abcd[[:space:]]")
abcd
I've tried several different modes, including fundamental mode. Am I missing something?
Using Emacs
