For the longest time, it was generally assumed that high-turnout elections would benefit the Democratic Party. But recent polling and election data suggest that this conventional thinking is disconnected from reality.

According to a recent poll of the 2024 presidential election, those who had voted in multiple elections since 2018 were more likely to vote for Democrats, while those who had voted in fewer elections were more likely to vote for Republicans.

The poll was conducted by the University of Pennsylvania and features astonishing results that greatly challenge conventional thinking on voter turnout. Furthermore, these results hold true across all demographics.

For voters who have cast their ballot three times since 2018 and without consideration of the demographics, President Joe Biden defeats former President Donald Trump, 50%-39%. If they voted in two elections, Biden again beats Trump, 43%-41%. But among voters who have only voted once since 2018 (presumably in the 2020 presidential election), Trump beats Biden handily, 45%-33%. The gap is even more pronounced among voters who have not voted at all with Trump beating Biden, 44%-26%.
