The increase is most pronounced among young Democrats: 61 per cent expressed anxiety compared with 39 per cent in July. Young voters could play a critical role in the elections, which will determine whether Republicans will maintain their full grip on Congress. Young voters rarely turn out in numbers that match their share of the population, especially in years when a presidential candidate isn’t on the ballot. Seventy-three per cent of young Democrats say they are interested in the elections, up from 50 per cent in July. Young Democrats and Republicans alike say they are more hopeful than they were earlier this year.
