Counterintuitive and out of step with '18 results.
Young people shift more Democratic as a group

With progressive causes such as gun control and climate change bringing louder battle cries from young voters, and competitive races in traditionally conservative states like Texas and Georgia, 28.2% of eligible youth voters went to the polls in 2018.
That's compared with 13% of eligible young voters who voted in the 2014 midterms, according to research from the nonpartisan Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University. Voters 30 and older increased their turnout as well, but only by 10 percentage points.
Democratic congressional candidates won 67% of voters ages 18 to 29 in 2018 – a greater than 2-to-1 margin than the 32% of young people who voted for Republicans.
