a lot of analysis on the potential future Blue Wave heading our way as young voters become a bigger and bigger slice of the electorate:

based upon an Atlantic article behind a pay wall:

and summarized by the left wing Daily Kos:

I'm a little skeptical the blue wave will be as dominant as they are saying, but maybe. Plenty of people change their political perspectives between the ages of 18 and 30. There is that old saying: "a conservative is just a former liberal who got mugged".
but I do think there is a future blue wave on the way. The changeover of generational participation coupled with the coming increase of minority voting is an inevitable dynamic. And this is coming at a time when the repugnican party is being driven by vocal subsets of their base demanding goals & policies that the younger and minority voters hate. And once somebody locks into a party affiliation, they are not prone to changing
Probably more like this
