We have been inheriting what these people voted for. Chief among the issues which will affect young voters is the economy. Young voters should be worried about downsizing, said Frymer. It's what is facing all Americans. Right now, no one's finding jobs.
Education is another issue that dramatically affects young people.
Another factor affecting the youth vote is a lack of information on the candidates and the issues. Lastly, the lack of partisan loyalties does not make young voters a significant block vote, according to Frymer. However, Wilbraham sees this as a positive asset. Surprisingly, the stereotypical Generation X apathy does not seem to be a significant reason for low voter turnout according to voter mobilization officials. Apathy is a myth.
