<http://futuremajority.com/node/3969>CIRCLE Increases Youth Turnout Estimates http://futuremajority.com/node/3969 ------------------ <http://www.civicyouth.org/?p=323>CIRCLE has updated their youth turnout numbers. You'll remember that these estimates are based on exit polls and the overall vote count. As absentee and early voting ballots get counted, the totals rise, changing the turnout numbers. CIRCLE now estimates that: · 23 million young voters cast a ballot on Tuesday, an increase of 3.4 million over 2004. · Youth turnout will likely top off at 52 - 53%. That would rival the 1992 turnout, and fall just short of the all time record of 55.4% set in 1972. · Young voters accounted for 60% of the overall turnout increase. That for the whole electorate. · CIRCLE still estimates that young voters made up 18% of the total electorate.
