Will Younger Voters Turn Out On Tuesday?
ResumeAs we head into election day, and every election day, we hear it over and over again: Young people vote at lower levels than other age groups. That's despite the fact that those under 30 are now the largest potential voting bloc in the country.
But if the numbers from a Tufts University poll are right, young people could vote at historic numbers in Tuesday's midterm election. The poll found that of youth aged 18 to 24, some 34 percent say they're extremely likely to vote, a level that rivals their participation in the 2016 presidential election.
