youth vote very important changes
年轻人的投票倾向发生了重大变化
again we can see Republican voting share
左方显示的仍是共和党支持率
it is not taking it down to 18 years
数据不是从18岁选民开始统计的
I'm not sure why but the 25 years of age you can see
我也不清楚为什么 但你能看到 在25岁的选民中
Republican voting share in this election was less than 35% quite a change from 2000 when it was nearly 50%
对共和党的支持率不到35% 与2000年的50%相比有显着下降
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
老年人的投票倾向也有变 2000年时 老人对共和党的支持率随年龄增长而滑落 尤其是65岁以上的群体
not true in this election
在这次大选中则不然
the over-65 demographical is one category that McCain won
只有65岁以上的人群中 麦凯恩享有领先的支持率
all the other age categories were won by Barack Obama
其余所有年龄层的人群中都是奥巴马占优
and that youth vote is important we'll see it in some of the county level date later on
年轻人的选票作用很关键 稍后我们看一些县级数据就会明白
we've talked before college counties if you will tend to vote more Republican
以前我们提到过大学所在的县 都倾向于支持共和党
oh excuse me, tend to vote more Democratic
不好意思 是倾向支持民主党
than non-college counties
相比于其它县而言
but in this election it's even more pronounced
这条规律在本次大选中比以往更为突出
a number of counties Butte County, California for example Chico State always voted Republican
有不少县 例如加州的标特县 加州州立大学所在地 过去一直支持共和党
this election it voted for the Democratic candidate
却在这次大选中将选票同给了民主党人
so we can see some changes probably correlated with the youth vote
所以这些变化很可能是与年轻人的选票相关联的
