This just in, Republicans: millennials now make up the largest generation of voters and they vote Democrat by a margin of 2-to-1, according to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University.
The results, based on a fall 2017 major public opinion poll, found that fear of the future mainly drives these young whippersnappers. In fact, fear outpaced hope among millennials at a rate of 67 percent to 31 percent, according to the poll results.
John Della Volpe, the Polling Director, seemed to suggest that millennials’ fear is a great motivator for government reform. He stated:
American political institutions are at a tipping point. Millennials are now the largest generation in the electorate. This poll and the Virginia election show that they are becoming more motivated -- and I believe the fear that exists today about our future will soon be turned into the fuel that will reform our government. The only question is whether this comes from inside or outside the traditional party structure.
Other concerns include those from young blacks and hispanics that “feel significantly under attack” in the U.S., as well as global warming and gun control.
The Washington Examiner reported that political analysts highly anticipate these results, as they seek to find out the issues that drive younger voters.
