Meanwhile, from actual poll results:
"A new trend has emerged in American politics: The very youngest voters — 18-to-24-year-olds — say they're more conservative than the cohort that's just older, according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll." https://www.axios.com/2024/09/28/gen-z-men-conservative-poll https://www.axios.com/2024/09/28/gen-z-men-conservative-poll in September 2024.
"According to a new Yale Youth Poll, a survey affiliated with the Yale Institution for Social and Political Studies, voters aged 18 to 21 lean Republican by 11.7 points when asked who they would support in the 2026 Congressional elections, while voters aged 22 to 29 favored Democrats by 6.4 points." https://www.newsweek.com/republican-support-poll-young-gen-z-2060258 https://www.newsweek.com/republican-support-poll-young-gen-z... in April 2025.
This is an unwelcome trend that bodes ill for Democrats unless they wake up and smell the coffee soon.
