For a change, ‘climate change’ isn’t coming in last or almost last on a poll
Economic issues, climate change, gun violence and abortion are top of mind for young voters
Forty-one million members of Gen Z can vote in this year’s election, and money is on their minds.
Economic issues — including inflation, cost of living and jobs that pay a living wage — are top of mind for young people when it comes to the 2024 Presidential Election, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University.
“Young people have the potential to have a huge impact,” said CIRCLE Spokesperson Alberto Medina.
Yeah, but, they so often go missing from the voting booth
The percentage of youth, ages 18-34 year olds, who selected each issue as one of their top three priorities, according to CIRCLE’s poll —
- Cost of living/inflation — 53%
- Jobs that pay a living wage — 28%
- Gun violence prevention — 26%
- Addressing climate change — 26%
- Expanding access to abortion — 19%
- Fighting racism — 13%
- Securing the border — 13%
- Public education — 13%
- Student loan debt — 12%
- Reducing the national debt — 11%
Ella Douglas, an 18-year-old freshman at Ohio State University, said the economy is her top issue. “I care about where our money is going,” she said.
Well, if that’s what she and 53% care about as their top issue, why would they vote for Kamala, who’s presided over much more expensive housing, food, energy, and so much more? Inflation that has outpaced wages? Do they really care enough about ‘climate change’ to destroy their own economic well-being?
