Has America Given Up?

So, a quick glance at the popular vote numbers for the last two presidential elections shows me that somewhere between 9 and 10 million Americans decided to just not vote this time around. Will those 10 million vote again in the future, or have they just stopped giving a shit? What do you guys think?
The Numbers:
2008 Popular Vote: 69,456,897 for Obama, 59,934,814 for McCain
2012 Popular Vote: 61,811,225 for Obama, 58,580,193 for Romney
Now, someone might ask why I'm not including third party and write in votes. The answer to that is that I'm lazy. Deal with it.
Edit: Just realized my poll disenfranchised non-Americans, so I added an option for you.
