ounger Americans have long told pollsters that they plan to vote and they are set to make good on that promise this fall in historic numbers.
And when they do, it will be a wave favoring the Democrats, according to a new survey of voters aged 18-29 from Harvard Universitys Institute of Politics being released Tuesday.
The survey found that 53 percent probably or definitely will be voting. And of those most likely to vote, 55 percent lean Democratic and 21 percent Republican.

This can’t be said enough, but Trump got lucky that he ran against Hillary. She was the worst candidate out there, in 2018 she or Trump will not be on the ticket.
Meanwhile Hillary is in her second year of the Presidency, according to the polls.
Ive preached it too. Between all the legal immigrants and illegal immigrants anchor babies the nation is doomed. California was the forecaster but no one listened. Republicans keep telling everyone that the immigrants will eventually vote Republican. Again.....just look at California.
She said: "All of that hullabaloo about lowering the voting age to 18, and those kids didn't even bother to vote!"
Stevens is not a Justice (he's retired) and he's not a Democrat (Republican, and appointed by a Republican President).
How much is Soros paying each one?
They always do this and then they always fail to turn out in November.
Here’s hoping that global warming prevents the majority of them from being able to vote!
The current manipulation of ‘polls’ makes them suspect.
They may be feckless, at least some of them, but they’re the only party we’ve got for now, so get out and VOTE anyway.
It’s not as if the GOP has given conservative kids (and there are a lot of them) any reason to vote for them. Still believe they are throwing the midterms to allow impeachment.
Maybe Republicans should put campaign ads on boxes of Tide pods.
This is true of youth throughout the ages - with no responsibility you want to get yours (even if you don't know what that is)
As people get families, jobs, things they have worked hard to get, they turn conservative and indeed are more responsible -- one can't constantly vote for government to give you money if you realize that ultimately YOU are giving gov money to hand out to you
I support raising the voting age to 25 and also putting in a clause that one gets the right to vote only after:
Voting is a privilege - a privilege to be given to those who earned it, not just by accident of birth
Remember 2006?
I do.
Depsite the conventional wisdom, the democrats won not because they were better, but rather that the RINOs in Congress weren’t conservatives, so conservative get-out-the-vote dwindled.
We’re here again.
They had a chance. They could have strongly supported Donald Trump and made wonderful things happen. And except for the Gorsuch appointment to SCOTUS and the Tax bill, they decided to obfuscate and oppose. The NEVER TRUMPERS are killing the GOP.
I will still vote, and I’ll vote straight Republican (or at least NEVER democrat) but I do not see enthusiasm for voting by conservatives like we had in 2010 and 2016.
I’m worried not about Millennials, but rather conservatives.
Half the Trump voters in Alabama stayed home and didn’t vote last December, when Roy Moore lost.
I’m worried about this happening coast-to-coast in November.
Bannon was right! We need to beat them in the primaries. I soooo wish Bannon was still active.
Here’s a link to the poll, which contains the methodology. Not a lot of info on that, however. Poll’s a hoot, though. Anyone who needs a laugh, or an emetic, should check it out...
Need to beat them in BOTH parimaries. Until conservatives are running DINOs in ‘Rat primaries, we are fighting half a battle.
This sounds like the naughty boys in the Pinocchio story, turning into Donkeys.
That demographic is the most unreliable voter segment there is...............................
