We might find very different results then, as we did in 2012 and 2008. Midterms, especially midterms with a Democrat president, are known for showing much higher turnout among Republicans than Democrats. We should be careful about trying to use that to extrapolate presidential election demographics, which have historically been different. | |

Also, is an individual's likelihood of voting tied to their level of education or knowledge of current political issues? | |
