College Student Voting Doubled From 2014 to 2018


The chart above is from the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education. It is their report titled National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement -- and it is good news for Democrats.

Much has been made in the past about how young voters prefer Democrats, but don't vote in large numbers. This shows that is changing. While only 19.3% of college students voted in 2014, that doubled in 2018 to 40.3%. And the rise in college student voting was across the board -- in both two-year and four-year colleges, and in both private and public colleges.

I'm betting that percentage rises again in 2020!
