Why Don’t Democrats Vote?

A new Pew Research study shows that, among people who either aren’t registered to vote or are unlikely to vote in the 2014 midterm elections, 51% favor or lean toward the Democrats, while 30% favor or lean toward the Republicans — a 21-point gap.

The Fix: “With only a few exceptions over the last several decades, more Americans have identified as or leaned toward he Democratic Party than the GOP, according to data from Gallup. And Democrats even today often lead on the generic ballot among registered voters, but not likely voters. But, for Democrats, it’s not just the people who are registered to vote but choose not to; it’s also people who choose not to even register to vote.”
