My own sense is that there is some correlation, but the obverse of that offered by Shane et al - that the least inclined to vote are typically the most oppressed, atomized, and least politically conscious sectors of the population
Little correlation, not none. But the main conclusion is similar to yours - it's a very detached segment of the population, which as I've said several times now, is *more* satisfied with the way things are going than the voting pop.
