Young Voters' Impact on 2022 Midterms

Young voters, typically favoring Democrats, showed strong preferences for Democratic candidates in key races during the 2022 midterms. Their support potentially contributed to Democrats' narrow victories in crucial contests. The average percentage of young voters preferring Democrats was 63%, with even higher support from specific groups like Black voters at 87% and Latino youth at 67%. This trend of strong Democratic preference among young voters has been growing over the last two decades.
