SEATTLE, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest
numbers from a new analysis by Clean & Prosperous America
(CaPA) finds that voting by young voters (18-29) is running
133.2% higher than at this point in 2016 with Arizona's young voters tracking at 71.5%
higher.
"Given historical trends as well as current polling, we
anticipate that young voter turnout could very well surpass that of
2008," said Bill McClain,
Research and Marketing Director, Clean & Prosperous
America. "It continues to be a major development in the 2020
election."
"The share of young people voting in the early vote this year is
up from 2016, significantly so. It suggests that young people
are going to end up voting in very large numbers and make a real
difference in the election this year," added Simon Rosenberg, an advisor to Clean &
Prosperous America.
