Democrats are winning over younger voters by huge numbers, but as a highly contentious, voter turnout-dependent midterm election inches closer, theres a serious question of whether these young Democrats will come to the polls.

A recently released poll from the Public Religion Research Institute and the Atlantic conducted in June showed only 28 percent of young adults ages 18 to 29 say they are absolutely certain theyll vote in midterms, compared to 74 percent of seniors.

In a year when Democrats are hoping an energized base can deliver them massive gains in Congress and possibly the majority in one or both chambers this poll, on its face, should give Democrats some pause.

Of course, this is only one poll. There are other surveys with varied results; a recent poll conducted by the Associated Press and University of Chicagos NORC found that 32 percent of young voters would certainly vote and 56 percent were likely to. Another poll by Cosmopolitan magazine and SurveyMonkey found that 48 percent of young voters were absolutely certain theyd vote in the midterms.

And its actually a big improvement for Democrats compared to past midterms. In the 2014 midterms, when Democrats lost control of the Senate, only 23 percent of young voters participated, according to the census, which considers young voters as aged 18 to 34.

But the takeaway is still serious: While Democratic voters are more enthusiastic to vote in the 2018 midterms than in past off-year election cycles and recent polls show theyre more eager to get out to the polls than Republicans young voter turnout could make the difference in 2018.

Right now the blue wave is being powered by suburban professional women, but to fully capitalize on 2018, Democrats need to energize young voters and voters of color, Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report said.
Republicans have a millennial problem. Luckily for them, millennials dont consistently vote.

Young people havent been a reliable voter base for Democrats.

Why does everyone care about Starfire being black but nobody cares that Beast Boy is now Asian?

At this point, Trump could break into his supporters houses and take money right out of their wallets and they'd still want to be on their knees with mouths wide open for him.

Right here bud

Honest question: what is it about Trump that makes you have this much devotion?

Let's say a large group of over 50,000 armed protestors march on Washington to demand Trump's removal and will not leave until it happens. Let's say prominent politicians are among them.

what happens and what would your reaction be?

Interesting. It'd be nice if some people explained why they voted the way they did.

I hope they open that coffin they found and it's a black dude just so TC gets triggered nidoran

I just wonder why try to claim Egypt instead of raising awareness about the Ancient Nubian civilization. It had pyramids, dynasties, trade with India and China, conflict with Egypt and Rome....there's a ton of history there. Trying to make Egypt theirs is unnecessary.

What's wrong with Ancient Nubia? Nubia had pyramids too.

I have to wonder, if Donald Trump did find someway to cancel the 2020 (or if he wins 2020, 2024) election and somehow is able to stay president "indefinitely", what would happen? Would you support it? Answer honestly.

Honestly, not being able to relate to Killmonger because he's black is pretty dumb.

He can represent any number of oppressed groups, including ones whites are a part of.

He's very similar to Magneto in a way.

Im not a black nationalist, so I didnt find Killmonger relatable...

You're not a psycho god either (I'm assuming) so I hope you don't relate to Thanos.

Because a bunch of people just had to leave Africa because it was too hot and they went to some snowy hellscape, got lighter skin, came back to Africa and said "hey we got white skin now! also we're gonna enslave you" and the original race was like "aw maaan."
