Men 25 and over

The chart of voter turnout for men aged 25 and older is very consistent. The percentages range from 72% down to 53%. With the higher percentages around 70% that was when there was a presidential election and when the percentages are lower and in the 50’s that is when there isn’t a presidential election. Unlike many of the other graph this graph is not trending up or down it is just a horizontal trend. So white men over the age of 25 are very consistent in their voting habits with not much change through out the years.



Men 18-24

This chart is about men who are young, 18 to 24. Just like the men 25 and over chart this one is also very consistent. The percentages in this graph are much lower than the graphs of older white men with the range being only from 44 to 17. So from these graphs one could assume that many men young men either choose to not vote or just that they have not registered to vote yet and will vote more as they get older.

Young (18-24) single women

Unlike the other graphs the graph of young single women is trending in one direction. That direction is down with the data starting at 64% and ending in 2000 with 46%. Also just like the other graphs there is a clear difference between years when there was a presidential election and years when there wasn’t one. So from this graph and comparing it with the graph of married woman we can assume that young single women have more time to vote than married women. Married women (18-24)

For married woman the range of data was from 41% to 21%. If you compare this graph to the one about single woman you see that married women voted much less than women who were single. Like most of the other graphs there isn’t a trend going up or down. The only fluctuation is between when a president is being elected and when one isn’t.

African American Young Men (18-24)

For African American young men the range of data is from 17% to 44%. Overall out of all of the men groups the young African American men. The graph peaked at 1984 and did being to slightly go back down. The lowest was in 1998 where only 17% voted.
