PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup polling in October finds little evidence of a surge in young voter turnout beyond what it was in 2004. While young voter registration may be up slightly over 2004, the reported level of interest in the election and intention to vote among those under 30 are no higher than they were that year.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Young people procrastinate. They aren't too likely to early vote. Whether they procrastinate so much that they skip voting altogether is yet to be seen.

 

[MARIS61]

Young people rarely share their true thoughts with organizations which to them represent "The Establishment".

Gallop, a fixture over the last 70 years is viewed by many as antiquated and Corporate owned. Literally too big to be independent.

Also, I have been polled by someone or other nearly every election, but never by Gallup.
