How many Americans realize the actual #% of voter turnout & the true common reasons others do NOT vote?

Question

I am looking for #% of actual turnout in mid-term & Presidential terms! Then the common reasons of voter apathy or not partaking in the process!

Will someone please take away the crack pipes from the first two answer's

Answer the question what is wrong with you people, are you that far from reality?

Answer 1

The voter turnout rate varies from state to state, but I would say it seems to be around 30-40% during a good turnout. Part of the problem is that younger people tend to have lower turnout rates. Some of the younger generation is too young to realize how voting really affects them. They still have a mentality of it's just 1 vote. The older generation is who will feel the changes more immediately. That tends to be the group who feels they have a lot to lose if they don't vote. There did seem to be a bigger youth turnout rate across the board this year, so the message slowly gets across. Plus more people voted because they want the war to end.

Answer 2

Many people don't vote because they know that both party's are pretty much the same and both answer to the same master, and that is the people who donates large sums of money and gives them backing thru the press or? also the fact that our politicians are nothing but thieves and crooks and haft to be before they can get into a position to run for office,so most people who vote do so for the lesser of the evils , the others feel , what is the use as the only ones who will benefit is the big boys wheather it is corp, America or lobbying groups who buy the souls and votes of our politicians

Answer 3

Most voters live in a hardcore red or blue state. So if you're opposed to your state's color, many choose not to vote because they feel they will not win against the majority. Even still, depending on which party controls the state, they usually fudge election results somehow so that their respective party wins the state. Bottom line is don't go against the flow where you live, and many don't. Battleground states are a different story, and as such you see higher voter turnouts there.

Answer 4

relies upon. Are they actual motives to not vote for him? Or actual often? a lot of those use some twisted info or sparkling own bias to cause them to into "LIE". in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i've got regarded by way of greater or less a million/third of the checklist (there are like eighty alleged lies on the 2nd) and a good chuck have regarded at as genuine. Does that mean you mustn't vote for him in case you sense he's the appropriate selection? No. yet i think of it does mean we could continuously all be careful what we examine/hear and have faith without checking into it ourselves.

Answer 5

The politicians are elected to carry out an agenda and when they do not do so the absence of voters are voting against their nominee.I think perhaps the question you pose does beg of it's own agenda so why do you not state such agenda as your question you may get more intrigue and honesty,for honesty begets honesty but closets beget secrecy much like that which you suspect of your fellow man.

Answer 6

Most people don't vote because liberals have appointed activist traitor judges that overturn the will of the people. What is the point in electing people to pass laws when those laws will be overturned by a bunch of libs in robes?

Answer 7

The politicians who make it at the national level have to have major funding. Under our current system that has typically meant they have to appeal to either big business or big labor (not the workers themselves.) This gives a sameness to the candidates.

In shorter terms: our choices suck.
