Can Gen Z Voters Save Us?

The new Harvard Youth Poll says the very youngest voters in this election – 18-to-24-year-olds – are actually more conservative in their views than older young people. It’s a rare development for a group of young Americans to be more conservative than their immediate predecessors.

The Harvard poll shows that both men and women aged 18 to 24 identify as more conservative, even though moderates make up the biggest chunk of both genders. And the young women are still to the left of their male peers.

John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, says the youngest voters were hardest hit by COVID lockdowns in schools, feel ignored by the establishment and are worried about their future job prospects.

Those strike us as very sound reasons for young voters to be highly skeptical of big government.
