CBS News: (VIDEO) Poll Shows First-Time Voters Motivated To Vote In 2020

This election, polls show young people are more motivated than ever to vote.

According to U.S. Census data, only 46% of young people (18- to 29-year-olds) voted in the last presidential election, far lower than any other age group, but this year, a Harvard poll found 63% of young people say they will “definitely be voting.”

Alyssa Canty does outreach to first-time voters for the non-partisan group Common Cause.

“They’re definitely activated, they definitely enjoy, like, voting early, or either voting by mail, so I think we will definitely see decent turnout, but it may not just be, like, on Election Day,” she said.
