Youth participation in the Iowa caucus quadrupled between 2000 and 2004, with its share of the overall caucus participants growing from 9 percent to 17 percent. A week later, after Dean’s loss in Iowa, youth participation in the New Hampshire primary was up, but just from 13 percent of the voters to 14 percent.
