Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.

    My point is, it aint 75% sitting out.

    Getting 2/3rds in a mid term election is UNHEARD OF in non-vote-by-mail states.

      That’s still only registered voters. Per your own post, over HALF of the total population isn’t being counted here. Yes, some are too young or ineligible for some other reason, but there are still literally millions of people who simply never bothered to register who are sitting out these elections.

      All these stupid polls are biased to show a certain perspective… what’s next, we’ll have a poll that says 89.2% of Americans want free money?! No Way!1!!

        According to the census, about 20% of our state is under 18.

        So 47.11% registered to vote. 20% unable to register. 67.11%, leaving 33% non-voting.

        Pretty much better than it ever has been.
