A new Harvard IOP poll of America’s 18- to 29-year-olds finds that 67% of young Americans are more fearful than hopeful about America’s future.

President Trump’s approval rate is now just 25% with young people, having fallen seven points since Spring.

Less than one year before the 2018 midterm elections, likely young American voters cite preference for Democratic control of Congress, 65% to 33%.

9. Trump is the living, breathing personification of a reddit troll

Some young folks connect with that...

3. Breitbart, prison planet and other conspiracy sites.

A generation raised on fox and Reich wing radio in their youth that was on the thin their homes.

In all seriousness though, that sentiment won't exactly win them over. Just saying...

8. Exactly!

I have voted in every single election since 1980! There are NO EXCUSES! I taught my 1st and 6th graders in my classrooms to vote and we did it constantly throughout the school year (privacy boards, hand written and anonymous paper ballots, tallied results by them in front of the class and they chose the issues).

10. If they do not ground war in north korea

and then reinstate the draft. All of a sudden all the video games and card games just won't seem so important. It's human nature, unless we have a dog in the fight and under Trump it might happen.
