Interesting election statistics reported in Gen Trends..."Did Millenials truly affect the outcome of the national election? Here are the stats about voters under 30 from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. You be the judge!
Millenials accounted for 18% of the vote (total of 23 million).
Turnout rate rose to at least 52%.
There were 3.4 million more young voters than in 2004.
Youth accounted for at least 60% of the overall increase in voters.
This group favored the winner of this election by more than 2-1."
