Which of the following groups make up the highest voter turnout in presidential elections in the United States?
  1. Women who are motivated by gender-specific issues
  2. Eighteen to twenty-five year olds who are excited to vote the first time
  3. College-educated citizens, no matter what their social standing or ethnicity
  4. Citizens who are lower on the socioeconomic scale and are dissatisfied with their living and/or working conditions.
Explanation
Answer: C - College-educated citizens, no matter what their social standing or ethnicity, make up the highest voter turnout in presidential elections in the United States. Although all of these factors can influence people to vote, by and large, education is the single most telling factor in voting registration. Higher educated Americans across all ethnic, religious, and racial lines are more likely to vote than Americans with less education.
