And if only people under 30 voted in 1980, Carter would have won by half a point. The fact that people vote for stupid candidates when they're young is not news to anyone.

Old people voted for a stupid candidate in 2000, but they did pretty well this year.

The youth vote is always heavily skewed towards the Democrats. Reagan won 1980 in a ten point landslide, and lost youth by a point.

You are...agree...for...1984. Um, okay.

I have absolutely no clue what that means, but I'll pretend I do. Reagan did very well among 18-24 year olds, but he did worse than his national percentage with 25-29 year olds. It just depends, but Republicans generally do worse with younger people.
