Because of disdain for Trump among the younger generation, 2018 appears supercharged by younger voters stung by the outcome two years ago.
Santa Clarita, California (CNN)Donald Trump's presidency has sparked revolt among large swaths of young Americans.
But as Election Day draws near, a question looms: Will they vote?
Typical midterm elections tend to draw out an older, whiter electorate and fewer single women than presidential years. But because of the deep disdain for Trump among the younger generation, this midterm cycle appears supercharged by younger voters who were stung by the outcome in 2016, and cognizant that their generation could have made the difference for Hillary Clinton.
Strong turnout within that age group could tip some of the closer House races into the Democratic column.
There's "an embarrassment that comes with having not voted, or having not cared about voting in the past," said Jessica Cohen, a 30-year-old product manager for a software company in California.
"(People) are realizing how many consequences there have been since 2016," she added.
"That apathy has gotten us into some serious trouble."
New polling this week confirms that the energy among youth voters on the ground isn't a mirage.

If Hillary's loss in 2016 isn't a Wake-Up call, nothing will be. Anybody just sitting on the couch and thinking someone else is going to do it, just hasn't accepted Reality yet.

Indeed....take for instance the state of Mexifornia.....the young are not voting in record numbers according to the early voting tabulations. Looks like the only things these kids are "flipping" are cars while they are spending Soros money for being professional protestors.
