Young voter helps break down issues Millennial and Gen Z voters are focused on

Young people today are clearly concerned about the nation’s direction. If you listen to the voices of 18- to 29-year-olds echoing across the country, they worry about the economy, foreign policy, immigration and climate change. And they appear motivated to facilitate change and ready to have their voices heard. A national poll released by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School indicates that among that age group, 18- to 29-year-olds, more than half say they will definitely vote in the upcoming presidential election. Talk with them and you’ll find that these young voters are focused more on the issues than on the candidates.
