This link will put you in touch with the recent Pew Center poll on the state of partisan identification by generation. Millenials, born after 1980, have come back to the field a little during 2009, but they still are the most heavily Democratic cohort among the five generations currently comprising the American electorate: the Greatest Generation, The Silent Generation, The Boomers, GenX, and Millenials. That they favor the Democrats over Republicans even after slipping since the Obama election is both good and bad news for 2010. The good news is that this is a generation that is predisposed to view government in positive terms; the bad news, of course, is that the youngest cohort in the electorate is notorious for not turning out in midterm elections.
