The graphic is important I think. It's not a binary. While the younger generation showed more support for Russia, most of the difference between the generations was due to the younger generation giving an "unsure" answer.
- rossdavidh 5y agoExcellent point. If the younger generation were not more often "unsure" about a foreign policy question, that would mean either: 1) they have spent a lot of time studying foreign policy questions (unlikely with any generation when young), or 2) they just accept whatever their elders tell them 56% of young people supporting Ukraine, is a result we would consider a crushing victory for either party in modern presidential elections, and that's when there's a lot fewer "unsure". There is a generational difference, sure, but it's a lot less dramatic than most of the posts here are suggesting.
