Youth vote fades from national politics after 1970s surge
An NEA Washington overview notes youth turnout lagged after the 26th Amendment, with only about half of 18 24 year olds voting in 1972 and 1976. Young voters show weaker party ties, more independence, and different patterns by age 18 21 vs 22 29, while college status remains a weak predictor. The piece cites surveys showing a Democratic edge but limits in alignment with other blocs, and argues youth influence remains diffuse with turnout slowly rising over time.
