Across Both Parties' Caucuses, 11% of Young People Participated in Iowa

Tufts University Tisch College · CIRCLE Alberto Medina Source: The share of Caucus participants is obtained from the 2016, 2012, 2008, and 2004 IA entrance/exit poll conducted by Edison Research, and the 2000 and 1996 IA entrance/exit poll conducted by Voter News Services. The numbers of votes cast are obtained from the New York Times and the Iowa Democratic Party. The numbers of votes cast in the past election years were obtained from various sources including the Washington Post archives (1996), Federal Election Commission (2000 and 2004), and CNN.com (2008). Estimated voter turnout is obtained by taking the estimated number of votes cast by young people and dividing it by the estimated population of the 17-to-29-year-old citizens from the March Population Supplement of the Current Population Survey, of the year closest to the Caucus.
