Young voters (18-29), saw a 56 percent surge over its 2014 turnout, which is the highest increase in turnout among any age group. While only 31 percent of eligible younger voters showed up to the polls, this is an increase of several million voters and were to the benefit of Democrats. As Harvard University’s John Della Volpe noted, it is estimated that the overwhelming majority of the added young voters backed Democrats and were primarily responsible for the wins of Democratic candidates.
Demographic shifts:
Three voting blocs saw major shifts toward Democrats from 2014 to 2018: Women, young voters and senior citizens. The following shifts are of note:
Women voters went from D+4 in 2014 to D+19 in 2018 Young voters were D+11 in 2014 to D+35 in 2018 Voters 65 and older broke R+16 in 2014, but shifted toward Dems and were R+2 in 2018
