Of those Millennials who ARE voting, more of them are voting for Dems.

The bulk of likely voters age 18 to 34 are casting ballots for Democrats this election, with issues like the economy and terrorism driving them to the polls, according to a new survey

About 47% of likely millennial voters are going with Democrats in this year’s midterm elections, compared to 32% who say they’re voting Republican, according to a Fusion poll released Thursday.

Fusion has called its poll the largest survey on Millennials’ voting habits from this election cycle after polling some 1,200 likely 18-to-34 year-old voters. The poll’s authors are pretty adamant about the use of “likely,” too, seeing as less than a quarter of millennials are expected to actually turn out this November, according to a Harvard University poll.
