Vice President Harris has a 50-point lead over former President Trump among two- and four-year college students in the seven swing states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada, according to a new Generation Lab poll.
Why it matters: It’s a commanding lead that could even swing the results in some of these key states, depending on turnout among this youngest contingent of voters.
I hate to say this, but it seems like I’ve been hearing this for every “generation” since mine - gen x (even though they - mostly the boomers - called us slackers). I think it was being said for boomers, too.
Question is - if they are “more motivated”, what are they motivated for? And if they are motivated for progress, are they going to vote or just posture on social media? While I sure hope it’s true that somehow this “generation” is different than all the others because of some magical inherent quality that no others had, I remain skeptical.
