How Did Ronald Reagan do so well with young Voters

[Kingpoleon]

Ford vs. Carter set up a strange coalition where minorities, females, urbanites, and young people were generally voting Republican far more than usual, and white males, the elderly, rural voters, and evangelicals were generally voting Democratic far more than usual. Reagan added his own coalition and used the previous appeal of Ford to his advantage, reminding the Ford Coalition that it was okay to vote for a Republican.
