Young Voters’ Enthusiasm Waned In Midterms

WASHINGTON (AP) – Young voters who have been critical to Democratic successes in recent elections showed signs in November’s midterms that their enthusiasm may be waning. That’s a potential warning sign for a party that will need their strong backing heading into the 2024 presidential race. Midterm voters under 30 went 53% for Democrats compared with 41% for Republicans nationwide. That was down from 2020, when such voters supported Joe Biden over his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, 61% to 36%. That’s according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping national survey of voters in November’s election.
