57 percent of young voters say Ginsburg's death makes it 'more important' to vote for Democrats

Fifty-seven percent of battleground state voters aged 18 to 35 said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death makes it more important to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Democratic Senate candidates, according to a new NextGen America poll.

An overwhelming 91 percent of Democratic women, as well as 83 percent of Democratic men, said they agree with the statement, based on results of a survey the progressive group shared with The Hill on Tuesday

“The Supreme Court vacancy is hitting home how many of our rights are actually at stake in this election and with this court,” said NextGen executive director Ben Wessel.

The focus on the make-up of the court is making young Democrats “even more fired up” to vote for Biden as the party fears possible judicial roll backs to health care and abortion care, Wessel added.

1. They would be correct.

[House of Roberts]

2. How many said it was already of maximum importance to vote for Dems?

Nothing can make me more determined to vote for Dems, even RBG's death. Of course, I'm much older than 18-35.

3. It's a pity that it's 4 years too late for people to realize that...

I know young folks are just able to vote so I can't really blame them, but Dems in general dropped the ball in 2016.

We lost the turnout battle in '16 and will be paying for it for a generation.



Oh well, onward and upward!

4. It was even more true 4 years ago when RBG was still alive

Just sayin'

5. Looks like a bitter pill for right-wingers.

Or maybe the Monkey's Paw.

They get their long-sought iron-clad conservative SCOTUS majority.

And lose every national election for the foreseeable future because their voting base is dying off, and young people coming up today are horrified by the GOP's platform.
