How are demographic (personal background) variables associated with political participation?

What will be an ideal response?

Varies. Most variables are positively related with political participation. Age: older persons are more likely to participate than younger ones. Income: the higher the income, the higher the participation level generally. Education: the higher the education level, the more likely one is to participate politically. Race/ethnicity: Whites are most likely to participate, whereas Latino and Asian populations have some of the lowest rates of political participation among major racial/ethnic groups in the state. Latinos and Asian Americans are also less inclined to discuss politics, which is also associated with lower political participation. Whether a person was born in the United States (nativity) is a big factor; those born outside the United States are less to participate.
