Democracy doesn’t happen by accident. We have to defend, strengthen, and renew it.

How the youth voted in US midterm elections: Circle website

"While the votes are still being counted across the country and control of the US House and Senate remain undecided, it’s clear that young people had a major impact on the 2022 midterms," the US Circle website reported.

The website mentioned that youth prefer Democrats by a 28-point margin and "the national youth vote choice for the U.S. House of Representatives was 63% for Democrats, 35% for Republicans."

These numbers almost match those of the year 2020, according to the website, "when youth preferred Democrats to Republicans by 62% to 36%, and a small shift in favor of Republicans from the previous midterm: in 2018, the youth vote between Democrats and Republicans was 67% to 32%."

According to this exit poll data, the website noted that "youth ages 18-29 are the only age group in which a strong majority supported Democrats," while those aged "30-44 split their votes nearly evenly 51%-47% between Democrats and Republicans," and "older voters favored the GOP."

The website added that 12% is the youth share of all votes cast.
