Wave of Young Voters Expected In November

A new Harvard Institute of Politics poll finds a huge jump in enthusiasm among young Americans about voting in this year’s midterm elections.

Key finding: 37% of Americans under age 30 indicate that they will “definitely be voting,” compared to 23% who said the same in 2014.

“Young Democrats are driving nearly all of the increase in enthusiasm; a majority (51%) report that they will ‘definitely’ vote in November, which represents a 9-percentage point increase since November 2017 and is significantly larger than the 36 percent of Republicans who say the same.”
