Seventy-seven percent of youth voters in battleground states said that they “definitely” plan to vote this November, according to an August poll conducted by NextGen America, a progressive group.

The group surveyed registered voters between the ages of 18 and 35 across 13 battleground states, a summary of the data shows. The percentage of those saying that they would vote is up seven points from a July poll conducted by the group, The Hill reported.

“Young people were already more fired up to vote in the election than four years ago, or even eight years ago,” Ben Wessel, the group’s executive director, told The Hill. “We’re reaching into heights never before seen with how motivated and likely these young people are to vote this November.”

The latest jump in enthusiasm is largely driven by young voters backing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, The Hill reported. Eighty-three percent of his supporters said that they would definitely vote – up seven points from July – compared to 75% who said the same thing for President Donald Trump, the summary shows.

Overall, young voters in both parties are extremely motivated to vote. When asked to list their “level of motivation” towards voting on a 1-10 scale, over half of both Biden and Trump’s supporters answered “10,” the poll shows.

According to the poll, Biden leads Trump 56-29, a 27-point margin, among youth voters across the surveyed battleground states.

The majority of those surveyed also said that they would vote for Democrats down-ballot as well, which Wessel said could help Democrats take back not only the White House, but possibly the Senate as well.

“If young people are fired up to vote in these 13 states it’s game over for Donald Trump and game over for the Republican-held Senate as well,” he told The Hill.

While 56% of those surveyed said that they would vote for their Democratic Senate candidate, only 28% said that they would vote for their Republican candidate, the poll shows.

The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maine from Aug. 19-26, and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
