These findings support the work done by Tom Bonier on youth registration nationally:
National data on a post-Dobbs youth voter reg surge:
this year, prior to Dobbs, 23% of new registrants were
under the age of 25.
Since Dobbs, that has jumped to 29%.
That matches the youth new reg share from '18, when younger voters drove the blue wave, and 5 pts ahead of '18.
Data showing a huge surge in women registering to vote since
the 6/24 Dobbs decision breakdowns of those new registrants.

@tbonier
Starting in PA, where women have accounted for 56% of new registrants in that time period.
Those women new registrants are 62% Democrats to 15% Republicans and 54% are under the age of 25.
Compare that to men new registrants at
43% Democrats and 28% Republicans.

| Female Democrat voters tell NY Times they're shifting to GOP over economic concerns: 'Geared towards business'
Independent voters in battleground states are more aligned with Republicans, according to state polls

Economic concerns and "intense" disapproval of President Biden are giving Republicans an edge with independent voters in the upcoming election, according to recent polling from The New York Times.
A NYT/Siena College poll found independent female voters in particular swung dramatically to the right in the past month, despite Democrats' focus on abortion rights.
"In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points— a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights," the paper reported.
The Times noted that was because the economy was "a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion," and a majority of voters trusted Republicans to handle it.
Reinforcing this point, the Times talked to Democrat women who were voting Republican this fall. Mortgage loan officer Robin Ackerman, 37, said she was switching because she felt the GOP was "more geared towards business."
Despite strongly disagreeing with the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, she said it wasn't going to influence her vote.
"But that doesn’t really have a lot to do with my decision… I’m more worried about other things," she told the outlet.
Another Democrat, Gerard Lamoureux, is also looking to the GOP to solve her concerns about rising prices.
"It’s all about cost," the 51-year-old Democratic retiree in Newtown, Conn., told the paper. He added, "The price of gas and groceries are through the roof. And I want to eat healthy, but it’s cheaper for me to go to McDonald’s and get a little meal than it is to cook dinner."
President Biden's strong disapproval ratings are also having an impact on Democrats' chances, driving voters to Republican candidates.
"Democrats are approaching this one [midterm election] saddled with a president who has a disapproval rating of 58 percent, including 63 percent of independent voters…The added challenge for Democrats is the intensity of the electorate’s displeasure with the president: The poll showed that 45 percent of likely voters strongly disapproved of the job that Mr. Biden was doing, and 90 percent of those voters planned to back a Republican for Congress this fall," the analysis found.
While Democrats have tried to make abortion the focus this election, inflation ranks the number one concern for 59% of voters, according to a Fox News poll conducted in September.

'The party's over': GOP strategist warns that 'good Republicans' can’t defeat 'lunatics' in 2022’s GOP.
Although Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska isn’t a full-fledged Never Trumper the conservative senator has been highly critical of former President Donald Trump at times and voted “guilty” during Trump’s second impeachment trial — a move that has resulted in Sasse being labeled a RINO (Republican In Name Only) by Trump and other far-right MAGA Republicans.
Sasse has decided he would rather be
in academia than politics, applying for a position
as president of the University of Florida.
Sasse is the sole finalist for the position, and his departure from the U.S. Senate is almost certain.
The founder of the Republican Accountabilit Project laments that in the GOP of 2022, there is little or no room for those who are not far-right MAGA extremists and total devotees of Trumpism.
“Ben Sasse is retiring from the Senate at the youthful age of 50,” Longwell writes. “We know why. Politicians who thought they could wait out Trump now see the writing on the wall__ The party’s over.
For years, we watched the GOP defenestrations:
Will Hurd, Jeff Flake, George W. Bush, the memory
of John McCain, Paul Ryan, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and any other Republican who stood up to Donald Trump — or even just opposed Trump’s attempted coup. Some fell on their swords. Some were tossed aside involuntarily. The result was the same.”
Trump continues, “Simultaneously, we watched the progress on the other side of the spectrum as normie Republican moderates such as Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, Elise Stefanik, Ronna Romney McDaniel, and J.D. Vance became unquestioning Trump maximalists. What these two dynamics proved was a simple fact:
In the Republican Party as it is currently constituted, political power emanates completely and totally from Donald Trump….
The end result of this truth is that it has driven the Good Republican — that rare animal who was supposed to be the post-Trump future of the GOP — to near extinction.”
Longwell adds that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is “not a Good Republican,” but rather, a performative culture warrior who uses the levers of government against companies who engage in speech he doesn’t like.”
The Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey as examples of Republicans who weren’t Big Lie promoters after the 2020 election but are now “stumping” for Kari Lake —
an “election-denying lunatic” and far-right Big Lie promoter — in Arizona’s gubernatorial race because they want to remain “in good standing”
with their party.
“To be a Republican in good standing today,” Longwell laments, “you have to make a devil’s bargain….
Did Glenn Youngkin move Republican voters?
Or did Republican voters move Glenn Youngkin?
Ask Kari Lake. She knows. And that’s the choice for the remaining Good Republicans.
You can play ball with the base, with Trump, with (Steve) Bannon, with Lake, with your new lunatic colleagues.
Or, like Ben Sasse, you can tap out. Either way, you can’t ignore the truth:
The Good Republicans are gone. Probably for good.”
