Parties Target Youth Vote In 1972 Campaign
Democrats plan a massive drive to register more than 12 million 18 to 24 year olds who are not yet registered. McGovern aides expect 100000 volunteers to organize a decentralized campaign, aiming for low costs and broad participation. Republicans, via Young Voters for the President, target 125000 volunteers across 50 states and 480 campuses with Aug 15 registration day. Gallup data suggest registered youths favor McGovern 57 to 41 while unregistered youths tilt Nixon.
