HL/Rasmussen Poll: Cheaper gas for dismantling Israel? 60% of young VOTERS said yes!

quote:

---

Support collapsed among older Americans. Haskins said that among voters 40 and older, support was roughly 3 percent.

Gen X. I am shocked!!

They cannot afford a home.
They cannot afford a new automobile.
They get out of college owing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
They are struggling to feed their families.

I have told you that the republicans are losing an entire generation of voters because of fiscal deficits, 40 trillion dollars in debt and counting, high grocery and healthcare prices, and never ending conflicts in the Middle East.

I am 70 years old. I have no dog in these fights, because I am fine. But, I do have children and grandchildren that are struggling. You can believe it or not, but these young people are pissed, and rightfully so.

They voted en masse for Trump last election, and they have been left behind.

Getting rid of that regime in Iran is the way to go. I am thankful for the US and Israel standing against them. God bless the US and Israel too!

Among all likely voters, 19 percent said yes. Another 22 percent said they were unsure.

Then Haskins showed Glenn the age breakdown.

Among voters ages 18 to 24, 46 percent supported the proposal. Among those ages 25 to 29, the number jumped to 60 percent.

Ummmm.
19% of young voters in the poll, not 60%
It was 60% of that 19% in a certain age range.

Cusoonkpd, you make some really good points, but it’s painting with a pretty broad brush. Hard work, maturity, financial discipline, and delayed gratification is what plays the biggest role in whether these young adults will ultimately be successful. NOT what their politics are at 22-23 years old. Thats assuming they aren’t blue haired freaks already. Lol.

My wife and I are among the last of Generation X. We both have good jobs in the same fields we came out of college in. We didn’t make much money at first, so we bought a (“nice”) used trailer, put it on family land, and lived in it for 5-6 years. Then we had it moved off to the side and lived in it while we built our house. After the house was built, we sold the trailer for close to what we bought it for. 20ish years later, we still aren’t rich, but we definitely don’t have to pay much attention to the price of gas or groceries either.

Admittedly, this is a small sample size, but here are a few examples of some recent college grads from our family and friend group. Most of these kids couldn’t wait to move out on their own, and to big cities at that.

Two of my nieces recently graduated with degrees that will never make them much money, but they both immediately moved to different big cities to live somewhere “exciting”.
One of them is working as a waitress and “going to grad school” with student loans. The other one got married and isn’t working yet, but her husband is. Both of them are paying very high rent on small apartments. They may be having fun, but that’s not a recipe for future success in my opinion.

A friend’s son graduated with an architecture degree (top of his class at a highly rated school). He chose a job at a big firm in a large city and is also paying really high rent for a small apartment. That may have been the right career move for him. He is a very smart and driven kid, and I have no doubt that he will ultimately be very successful.

My son graduated with a finance degree and an MBA. He got offered a really good job locally after doing a summer internship. Very good salary- comparable to the architecture kid’s. He chose to live at home and save his money instead of paying rent. When he gets married in 2-3 years, he will be able to buy a house in pretty much any neighborhood he wants. Selfishly, I would love it if they choose to build one on our land. I’m pretty proud of the kid. He’s going to be ok.

The point is, the things that seem important to them at 23 are not the same things that are important at 40. If they would make decisions out of college with where they want to be in 15 years in mind, they will be just fine.

And none of that changes with the democrats.

What you get with Republicans is lower taxes, fewer regulations, less immigration, less DEI, and more investment in the country.

Looking at the whole picture objectively, the younger people should be demanding more right-wing politicians, not socialism.

They complain about housing prices and jobs but still want to vote for the party with more regulations, higher taxes, more illegals needing homes and welfare, and socialism that will never let them own a home? It makes no sense.

And now you know why Bibi and Miriam pushed Trump into this stupid war. Our greatest ally Israel support is going by the wayside in the next election cycle or two and the younger generations aren't too fond of them.

Correct. They know their time is running out.

They'll have ashes in their mouth before all of this is over and I won't give a shite

and they have been left behind

They have never had more opportunity to generate wealth. They are too worried about watching useless videos on Tik Tok instead of learning how to take advantage of the massive opportunities we’ve had in the last 5 years.

My 16 year old son is making more than his teachers right now.
