On Tuesday they will have a chance to let their voices be heard once again in the midterm elections. In the 2008 presidential election. about 51 percent of eligible voters in the 18-29 age bracket went to the polls, compared to the about 25 percent who turned out in the 2006 midterm elections, said Zachary Baumann, a political science lecturer at Penn State. "It's going to be a question of. .Do young voters turn out?' Baumann said. 'And they're more likely to do that in more competitive contests like we're wit nessing in Pennsylvania.- But Baumann said he doesn't antici pate any huge increase in youth voter participation for Tuesday's election. He estimates the number will be about 20 percent, similar to past midterm election participation. Maegan Carberry, a spokeswoman for Rock the Vote. which aims to build politi cal awareness among youth. said the number of young voters participating in elections increases on a fairly consistent basis.

At a recent town hall event, Pipe told voters that in the two years since the Obama campaign. he has felt "different vibrations.- It's a feeling of frustration now, where back then it was optimism, - Pipe said. In 2008. voters talked about what Obama could do, Pipe said, while today people focus on what he hasn't done. Carberry said casting a vote on Tuesday isn't so much an assessment of whetner a person agrees with the Obama administration and its initiatives, but whether the momentum will continue.
