The young (under 30) used to vote reasonably well in America.

In 1968 the Democrats got 47%, in 1972 46%, 1976 51%, 1980 44%, 1984 40%, 1988 47%, and then in 1992 it all went to heck.

I think there is probably a correlation between when people start getting jobs, having children and paying mortgages. Nothing like working to support a family while paying taxes to turn a liberal into a conservative.

It used to be that happened to most people in their 20s. Now most 30 year olds are still living with their parents and working part time.

30 is the new 18.
