youth vote very important changes
年輕人的投票傾向發生了重大變化
again we can see Republican voting share
左方顯示的仍是共和黨支持率
it is not taking it down to 18 years
數據不是從18歲選民開始統計的
I'm not sure why but the 25 years of age you can see
我也不清楚為什么 但你能看到 在25歲的選民中
Republican voting share in this election was less than 35% quite a change from 2000 when it was nearly 50%
對共和黨的支持率不到35% 與2000年的50%相比有顯著下降
and also a change in the elderly voting certainly from 2000 where the more elderly population declining percentage of Republican voting as you got over 65
老年人的投票傾向也有變 2000年時 老人對共和黨的支持率隨年齡增長而滑落 尤其是65歲以上的群體
not true in this election
在這次大選中則不然
the over-65 demographical is one category that McCain won
只有65歲以上的人群中 麥凱恩享有領先的支持率
all the other age categories were won by Barack Obama
其余所有年齡層的人群中都是奧巴馬占優
and that youth vote is important we'll see it in some of the county level date later on
年輕人的選票作用很關鍵 稍后我們看一些縣級數據就會明白
we've talked before college counties if you will tend to vote more Republican
以前我們提到過大學所在的縣 都傾向于支持共和黨
oh excuse me, tend to vote more Democratic
不好意思 是傾向支持民主黨
than non-college counties
相比于其它縣而言
but in this election it's even more pronounced
這條規律在本次大選中比以往更為突出
a number of counties Butte County, California for example Chico State always voted Republican
有不少縣 例如加州的標特縣 加州州立大學所在地 過去一直支持共和黨
this election it voted for the Democratic candidate
卻在這次大選中將選票同給了民主黨人
so we can see some changes probably correlated with the youth vote
所以這些變化很可能是與年輕人的選票相關聯的
