Exit polls show young voters swinging back to Democrats after Trump's 2024 gains

The midterms saw a significant shift with young voters overwhelmingly backing Democrats, with 66% of those aged 18-29 supporting Democratic House candidates. This counters recent trends where Trump had made gains with Gen Z, particularly young men, sparking discussions about a potential Republican coalition among younger Americans. The strong Democratic performance among this demographic suggests that the political landscape may be more fluid than previously thought, raising questions about the GOP's long-term appeal to this age group.
