Youth and the 2024 Election

For those who like to pore over early polls, this one from Tufts was just released yesterday (11/29/23). It serves as a counter to a theme from a week ago with "a number of polls" showing young voters "turning on Biden" (NBC).

This Tufts poll shows a +21 advantage for Democratic candidates over maga. Amazingly, it doesn't even cite reproductive rights as key issue. Wait until Democrats campaign on it.

And I've mocked fellow boomer/Gen Xers (I'm on the cusp) for their complaints about Gen Z and forth being self-righteous and censor-crazy. I put my fist in the air and shake it indicating they're just like Gramps.

At the same time, I understand being frustrated with youth who stubbornly compare Biden to the Almighty rather than the alternative.
