Biden is barely beating Trump among young voters
Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.
I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .
My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes… Gotta fight for your right to party ;)
Millennials are actually rebellious, too. Remaining liberal or further left as they age, rather than growing more conservative. Switching from their raised-in religion to “None.” The rates are less sharp than Gen Z, but they are still significant.
The old tick-tock analogy is changing, especially as an alarming number of people are trying to thumb the scales hard to the right.
God fucking damnit young voters - you’re supposed to be smarter than us.
I mean a lot of young voters just do what their parents say.
1000 people surveyed.
This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

Statistically, you can get to a margin of error of a couple of percent with that sample size. That’s good enough for political surveys, and that kind of sample size is a common one for polls of this sort.
I think a big factor (maybe even the biggest one) here is that people seem to overwhelmingly be voting AGAINST something/someone instead of FOR something/someone. In the US it’s made even worse, because people were brainwashed into believing they only have two choices, so if they’re against choice A it automatically means they must vote for choice B, warts and all, because otherwise their vote us “wasted” (which is not even remotely true or accurate, but that’s another story).
I don’t know if there’s a way to even fix it anymore, because the polarization and tribalization of societies went so far it is scary. But hey, Biden supports Israel, so let’s vote for Trump instead. Because he will clearly not support Israel, he will immediately stop selling bombs to them and he’ll bring peace to the region, right? Sigh…

Why do you say that? My understanding is that “only two choices” is true and accurate because of how the electoral college works.
