Note that the article is about 18-24 year olds, not the usual "young voters" group of those under 30 or so.

This isn't surprising.
Government, through their formative years, has unfortunately been oppressive to them.
People with skin in the future, and can see it crumbling under the Elites.
> 25 isn't youth voters, unless you're in to the unusual scholarly work,
The youth vote in the United States is the cohort of 18"24 year-olds as a voting demographic, en.m.wikipedia.org

@#3 ... The youth vote ...
Yeah, youth vote, young voters, youngest voters, etc.
That's why I prefer the age ranges when looking at poll results.
As the wiki article in #3 notes...
... The youth vote in the United States is the cohort of 18-24 year-olds as a voting demographic,[1] though some scholars define youth voting as voters under 30.[2] ...

That's what I said -> " unless you're in to the unusual scholarly work,"
You don't read well do you?

No its not about your preference, it's about you not accepting you're wrong about something.

Clearly the youth vote is a demographic of people college age and under.
Your preference is BS.

The VP's ad mocking the-------------'s cowardice is fire.

I do read.
And that is how I know your current alias misquoted the Wiki article.
@#6 ... Clearly the youth vote is a demographic of people college age and under.

It is not my preference.
It is about looking at the actual data vs looking at labels on that data. I'd proffer that it is the preference of those who want to look at the data vs those who want to try to ascribe unsubstantiated political views to the data.
I'll repeat...
Your current alias' comments to the contrary are quite lame. I have to say, typically, your current alias does better. Having a bad night?
;)

A five point swing? When MOE is probably ~3%?
That's hardly "turning right."
