The strong performance helped Sen. Marco Rubio and a host of GOP House candidates and statewide officials swamp Democrats in the Sunshine State, which was considered a battleground state just four years ago. The GOP\u2019s share of the young vote in Florida dwarfed the party\u2019s performance elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe national youth vote choice for the U.S. House of Representatives was 63% for Democrats, 35% for Republicans,\u201d the Center for Information &#038; Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) <a href=\"https:\/\/circle.tufts.edu\/2022-election-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>, citing exit polls. \u201cThat\u2019s almost identical to 2020, when youth preferred Democrats to Republicans by 62% to 36%, and a small shift in favor of Republicans from the previous midterm: in 2018, the youth vote between Democrats and Republicans was 67% to 32%\u2014which was the largest margin ever for Democrats among young voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Florida GOP\u2019s portion of the key demographic was up nine percentage points over the 2018 midterms, when DeSantis was first elected governor, according to an AP VoteCast survey. Democrats\u2019 share of Florida\u2019s 18-29 vote dropped 14 percentage points to 44% over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/how-different-groups-voted-in-the-2022-midterm-elections-11667955705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania<\/a> 54% of the youth vote went for Democrats in 2022 while only 43% for Republicans. The Democrats only lost five points from 2018 while the GOP gained four points. The younger vote heavily influenced the Keystone State\u2019s close Senate election with 70% of voters aged 18-29 choosing Democrat John Fetterman over Republican Mehmet Oz.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/how-different-groups-voted-in-the-2022-midterm-elections-11667955705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia<\/a>, the youth vote was 54%-43% Democrats over Republicans, with the Democrats losing eight points and the GOP gaining the same amount since 2018. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/how-different-groups-voted-in-the-2022-midterm-elections-11667955705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona<\/a>, the Democratic margin was a whopping 57%-38%, with the Democrats having lost five points since 2018 and the GOP gaining five points.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of the 18-29 vote could press the GOP to seek a candidate with a proven appeal to the age group, although DeSantis has not indicated if he intends to seek his party\u2019s presidential nomination in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to this exit poll data, youth ages 18-29 are\u00a0the only age group in which a strong majority\u00a0supported Democrats,\u201d CIRCLE noted.<\/p>\n<p>Exit polls in Arizona showed a dramatic break for Democrats in the key group, despite the GOP\u2019s youthful candidate, Blake Masters. Incumbent\u00a0Mark Kelly garnered more than three-quarters of the under-30 vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe youth vote is interesting, because we know when they show up they tend to be more progressive, they tend to be to the Left,\u201d Fox News\u2019 Shannon Bream <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6315202273112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commented<\/a>. \u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s always this pooh-poohing about whether they\u2019re actually showing up, because we hear this \u2018rock the vote\u2019 and this stuff every time, but it looks like they\u2019re there in bigger numbers than people actually expected.
