Young voters, despite the primary trail enthusiasm, are turning out, in the Sunshine State at least, at typically low levels. Despite an Obama GOTV push aimed at college and university campuses, they’re voting below their statewide percentage numbers in early voting.
Now, that said, I don't know if this is peculiar to Florida, or if youth turnout is at its usual low level across the country in early-voting states.
If it is national, then pollsters probably need to tweak their polls as we head to the finish line.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
