According to experts polled by crhoy.com, the swing group of voters in the upcoming presidential election are the demographic of voters under age 40. This group is less likely to watch televised debates and expected to form last minute opinions based on information contained in the Internet and social media. Political analysts are saying this younger group is likely to be decisive for the election because they are most likely to change their opinions and have a much higher turn out rate to vote than those in the 40 to 65 years old age bracket.

Number of Registered Voters by Age

  • Age 18 to 39: 696,632
  • Age 40 to 65: 1,199,150
  • Age 66 to 80: 243,328
  • Age 81 to 114: 69,139
