Younger Voters

Following up on the last two posts, some may say that younger voters always vote democrat but as they get older, they vote republican. This is not necessarily true. The phenomenon of younger voters voting Democrat has not always been the case, it is more of a recent trend. In 1992, Republicans and Democrats split younger voters. And in 1984 Ronald Reagan won 59 percent of younger voters. These younger voters who voted for Reagan grew up and continued to support people like George Bush. Voting patterns tend to reinforce themselves and lead to voting the same way in future elections.
