While Dems have the college age vote, leadership postion in the GOP for the younger generation far exceed that of the Democrats.

Interest in the coming election,  for the Democrat voter,  is in the tank.   The New York Times notes that part of the reason for the lack of interest may be due to a lack of up-and-coming Democrats in Congress. The average age of the top three Democratic leaders in the House is 75, while the average age for the top three Republican leaders is 48. 

Republicans have done an excellent job in recent years in promoting young talent. The new Speaker of the House is 45-year-old Paul Ryan, and many of the party’s top voices in the Senate are under 50 (including Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who are each running for president). Meanwhile, Democrats’ top voices are over 60.
