The Elusive Youth Vote

The Elusive Youth Vote: - In the last two midterm elections, only one in four people under age 30 voted, about half the rate for recent presidential elections

Is there any reason to expect that the turnout will be different this time? Usually without the excitement of a presidential race, less young people exercise their right to vote. With two wars, an economy that is slumping, and the cost of higher education zooming into the stratosphere, you would think there would be enough incentive for young people to get out there this year.

Any predictions?
