THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Politicians — remember
President Clinton in 1994? —
have put up with some personal
questions in their quest to earn
the affection and support of mil
lions of young voters.
Among people age 18 to 24,
apathy toward the political
process has grown, evident in the
diminishing number of young
voters who have turned up at the
polls over the past three decades.
In the 2000 election, one of
the closest in U.S. history, just
29 percent of eligible voters
ages 18-24 — about 8.4 million
— cast a ballot for president.
There was a brief surge in
voting by young people in 1992,
when Clinton, Ross Perot and
the first President Bush fought
for the White House. That year,
close to 38 percent of young vot
ers went to the polls. Four years
later, however, when Clinton —
who answered “usually briefs”
at an MTV town hall meeting —
won re-election, the percentage
of young voters had dropped to
around 28 percent.
Still, the candidates have
worked to capture the youth vote.
