Election Determination
On a scale of 0 to 10, how determined are you to vote in the November 3rd general election for U.S. House of Representatives and other state offices, with 0 meaning not determined at all and 10 meaning extremely determined?
33% of young men are extremely determined to vote in November. 28% rate their determination five or below.
This is a survey of young men aged 18 to 30. They are one part of the electorate, not all of it, and this does not predict the November result. This question sorts the men into the three groups the ballot charts use: 41% rate their determination 9 or 10, 28% rate it 6 to 8, and 28% rate it 5 or below.
