Abstract
This article sets out to prove, using several «Eurobarometer» surveys since 1973, for France and for Europe, that present day youth is anything but depoliticized. Today’s youth is just as concerned with politics as preceeding generations. Young people have always been slighly less politically aware and active than adults because of progressive socialisation. The vote of young people, recognizable in electoral polls, bears no natural characteristics. Although, they often vote more to the left than other age ranges, this can easily be explained by the characteristics of their sociology and with relation to a political history. In the 1995, Presidential elections, the vote of young people was, in contrast, more favorable to the right than that of adults. But their electoral inclinations are nevertheless partially affected by their social, cultural and religious considerations.
