Young voters are increasingly siding with Democrats, but young Republicans concerned about the direction of the country are growing more socially conservative than their elders, according to a Harvard poll published Monday. There was record youth voter turnout in the 2018 midterms, with two-thirds of young voters picking a Democrat, according to the poll, conducted by Harvard’s Institute of Politics and published by Time. The overall turnout was 31 percent — the highest since the mid-1990s, according to the poll. Youth voters were defined as those falling between ages 18 to 29. “We’ve been seeing a growing divide

Well, yeah! With the Dems spouting this and free that, what would you expect. The Dems are not exactly saying ‘get out there and make a name for yourself!’ They’re saying the opposite....’we’ll take care of you.’ Pathetic.

WOW! Who knew that young and stupid and brainwashed by institutions actually MEANS young and stupid and brainwashed by institutions. A lot of them also think that Socialism/Communism is good way to run a country so we can stupid and brainwashed.
You would think that the ability to get a job, independantly support yourself, and pay off your college loans would be appreciated but I forget; stupid. Maybe they actually LIKE living in their parent´s basements and spending all their time hanging out with their friends?

My son became the only Democrat in a Republican family by the time he hit second grade, thanks to the school system. He never got over the brainwashing. So the fact that the younger generation "leans" Democrat makes perfect sense.

I was way more liberal in my youth and often split my vote. After serving in the military and learning how the economy and business actually works, I became a full throated conservative.

My daughter became a Republican at age 16 when she got her first pay check stub and saw how much the government took out of her hard-earned income.
Of course, most of the teenagers these days don’t have jobs and just go on living with mom until they get kicked off of mom’s health insurance.
I recently heard a millennial say that 30 is the new 21 and my blood pressure spiked - no wonder we’re in such a mess and the skulls full of mush love Crazy Bernie and AOC. They don’t want to grow up and live their lives.

Shocker--not! Young voters also voted overwhelmingly for McGovern, Carter against Reagan, Dukakis, Mondale, etc. At least the ones who showed up at the polls did. 31% is hardly an overwhelming turnout.

Is this the same poll that shows Trump´s approval rating dropping from 53% to 39% in less than two weeks, and after the Mueller report came out with nothing on Trump?

A poll taken by Harvard, a once fine business school that has morphed into a haven for communists, safe-space occupiers and stupid children who are enrolled because of who their libtard parents are. Of course they are going to side with democrats because they are gullible and lazy.

They always do. They have been dumbed down and brainwashed. NYC is the perfect example. How else could fools like de Blasio and AOC win election. Its really a form of child abuse.

What percentage of the ´kegger´ vote really turns out to vote on election day? Keggers are socialist liberals brainwashed since K and in college attend beer keg parties (keggers) and on election day are too hung over to get out and vote in substantial numbers. Elections come and go and they stay home hung over just like blacks do.

These wide eyed liberal youngsters will ultimately pay for everything, they just don´t know it.
Their future earnings will be taxed to cover their forgiven tuition. No dodging those payment now.
They or a loved one will be a victim of crime that gets minimal or no punishment. Ah yes, social justice.
They will carry the load at work, covering for the pot heads, the entitled, the incompetent and the cultural saboteurs. We´re all sort of, you know, equal.
AND as an extra bonus, they can help pay for my social security. Hope there´s some left for you, sorry!
You gotta love young people. They´re an endless source of amusement.

It took decades for the world of the elite educated to get control of young peoples minds. From earth day to I have two mommies. Now they can prove it worked ..their personal intelligence is now measured by their ability to regurgitate the lack of true thinking into a Ocasio Cortez mentality. Just memorize what I tell you it is truth and you may repeat it as a paper. Don´t try to over think me just tell me what you have learned from listening to me...no don´t show any personal growth or knowledge...now take this A+ and move on to change the world.

If Harvard were a great college, as they pretend to be, they would encourage every thoughtful, educated, challenger to the leftist/progressive agenda, to show up for debates or better yet teach as a full professor at Harvard. As it is they can´t stomach a Peterson or Shapiro speaker showing up on this overrated campus for 5 minutes without the entire student body having a fit. Truly unworthy of calling themselves an institution of higher learning. It is a sordid communist loving propaganda machine fueled by pious elitists with way more money than brains.
