- Go to A)Do candidates influence enthusiasm to vote? B)Does media influence it luv
I think both media coverage of certain sound bites repeatedly, and the way the candidates present can affect voting, though hopefully, folks can decide based on more than that.

The candidates definitely do. Look at how Obama was able to acquire the youth and African American vote in 2008. Those are typically an age demographic and racial demographic, respectively, that do not vote in droves relative to their numbers, but they did there.
JFK inspired a lot of Catholics to vote.
I do not believe the media has that sort of influence on making people turn out to vote. Turnout is fairly poor.
