They absolutely were. Between 25% inflation, the student loan relief failure, two proxy wars and the current beating of college students across the country, the current administration would have been facing record low turnout in November.
I would be surprised if there is not some string attached to this that doesn't take place until after November. That's a good thing though, becuase it was seeming more and more like the current administration was sabotaging itself. The Democrats need the youth vote.
- astrange 2y agoNobody cares about college protestors, even other young people. It's the second to least important issue in recent polls. https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/47th-edition-spring-2024 https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/47th-edition-spring-2024 Young people always have bad turnout anyway, so it doesn't matter if they find a new excuse to have it. (Also they did do student loan reform via SAVE and have forgiven about 9% of loans IIRC. Probably shouldn't have though, it's inflationary, and as you can see from the above poll nobody even appreciates it.)
