Why Can't the Boomers Let Go?

from Poll Hub · host Barbara Carvalho, Jay DeDapper, Mary Griffith, Lee Miringoff

With voter bases from both parties making it known that they want younger, more vibrant, and authentic elected officials, we're wondering if the reign of Boomers in American Politics is over? Well...probably not yet, but candidates like Zohran Mamdani and JD Vance might be a good place to start the conversation.Then, we examine and push back against the age-old adage that "money can't buy you happiness" because research shows that it can... sort of! Maybe it has less to do with how much $ you have and more to do with how you spend it.Finally, do you have a favorite author, or do you read whatever comes your way? Compare your answer to Americans from nearly a century ago in this week's fun fact!

On this week's Poll Hub: With youthful & energetic politicians like JD Vance and Zohran Mamdani busting onto the political scene, it begs the question: Are Boomers on their way out of politics? We discuss whether or not Americans are enthusiastic about this injection of youth into public office. Then, we dive into the rat race. The relentless pursuit of money is unfulfilling, right? Well, we have some data that might suggest otherwise! Finally, as Americans are lounging out on the beach reading their favorite books this summer, we have a fun fact that you'll certainly want to READ with us! maristpoll.com/podcast
