That being said, why was that election considered a landslide for the democrats but now that the Republicans have done it, all you liberals can say it does not mean anything because it was low voter turn out?
Your comment about only 13% of voters under 35 voted, well considering that group only made up 19% of the voters in the last election that's not saying much. Oh and in this election democrats out numbered republicans 37% to 33%.
One last thought, It seems to me that if Americans wanted the Obama agenda it would have been a big night for the democrats...That in its self should tell you something.
Below is from ABC News,
VOTER TURNOUT BY GROUP
Race/ethnicity:
• Whites: a more Republican voting group -– account for 75 percent of voters in preliminary exit poll results, up from 72 percent, a record low, in 2012.
• Nonwhites: a more Democratic voting group -– account for 25 percent of voters, down from 28 percent, a record high, in 2012.
Age:
• Millennials (Voters age 18-29): a more Democratic voting group, make up just 12 percent of voters -- down from 19 percent in 2012. That's the same as it was in 2010. Note, however, that younger voters may turn out later, so their share may rise in later data.
• Older voters (Age 65+): make up 26 percent of voters, up sharply from 17 percent in 2012. Note, however, that older voters often turn out early, so their share may decline in later data.
Party ID:
• Republicans -- 34 percent
• Democrats -- 37 percent
Democrats have outnumbered Republicans by 6 or 7 points in the last two presidential elections. Republicans closed that gap in the two previous midterms
Ideology:
• Conservatives account for 36 percent of voters, similar to 2012. Their peak turnout was 42 percent, in 2010.
