“I don’t even know what that means anymore.”As Election Day approaches, campaigns are making their last-ditch effort to court young voters like Dalal. Community impactYoung voters say 2016 felt like the beginning of a new timeline, not just for them, but for the country. “Now, I don’t even want to talk to my mom about the election.”Other Gen Z voters say their whole adult lives have been filled with similar interactions. “She’s not putting her pronouns after everything, she doesn’t have to claim Indigenous rights before every Zoom call.”Many progressive young voters take issue with Harris for those same reasons. An NBC News poll of Gen Z voters conducted in August found that abortion is the issue young voters rank third in importance, behind inflation and threats to democracy.

They join more than 23 million naturalized citizens who were eligible voters in the last presidential election. Though overall turnout among naturalized voters has been lower than among U.S.-born voters, participation rates of naturalized Latino and Asian American voters have been higher than those who are U.S.-born, according to Pew Research.

☆ Why Everyone Is Still Mad About Inflation, High Prices: Salary Fights

Ever since 2022, when inflation hit a 40-year high of 9%, Americans have been pissed off about the economy. Traditionally, economists (being economists) have focused on the economic costs of inflation — i.e., are price increases wiping out everyone's annual raise? In a normal economy, the small raises companies give are enough to offset the minimal inflation we typically see. In a survey of 3,000 workers, researchers found that most — a whopping 79% — just accepted the salary they were offered. AdvertisementBut now, poring over the new study, I realize I overlooked the role inflation has played in reshaping the pandemic-era workplace.

He also found that women will comprise nearly 52% of all eligible voters, which should help Harris. (North Carolina is the sole swing state where he found that they had increased as a portion of eligible voters since 2020.) The groups that Harris needs to give her winning margins are the non-White and college-educated White voters (especially women in each case). “I think Gen Z women, including White women, are very committed to an inclusive democracy,” she said. But this history clearly shows it is likely that the changes in the composition of the eligible electorate Frey has documented will closely track the shifts in the configuration of the actual electorate.

Exactly two weeks before Election Day, a new CNBC/Generation Lab survey finds that Vice President Kamala Harris has grown her advantage in recent months over Republican Donald Trump among Americans between the ages of 18 and 34. Faced with a similar question in July's Youth & Money Survey, only 46% of respondents selected Harris, while 34% said they would be voting for Trump. Kennedy formally dropped his bid for president on Aug. 23, and respondents in the latest poll were not offered a third option. Harris' 20 point lead over Trump in the latest poll is in line with the margin by which President Joe Biden ultimately won younger voters in his 2020 presidential election victory. The latest poll results also hint at an enthusiasm gap among young voters, which Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov.

Diana Greene Foster: One good thing about The Turnaway Study is that our demographics closely resemble national demographics on who gets abortions. [They're also] more likely to have evictions, have a larger amount of debt if they're denied an abortion. The number of public records, such as bankruptcies, evictions and court judgements, significantly increased for those denied abortions, by 81%.

She acknowledges that Trump’s alarms have resonated among working-class White women, especially older ones.

"The person you're talking to isn't always the person who decides whether or not you get that higher salary, they're often the person who has to go make the case to someone else," she adds.
