Young Voters Uninterested in Midterm Elections

A new Harvard Institute of Politics poll finds the percentage of young people who are likely to vote in the midterm elections “is shrinking relative to the last time we asked the question five months ago, and also compared to four years ago at this time.”

Key finding: 24% of Americans under the age of 30 say that they will “definitely be voting,”in the upcoming midterm elections, a sharp decrease of 10 percentage points since the Fall.
