The polls have shown Donald Trump with an edge for eight straight months, but there’s a sign his advantage might not be quite as stable as it looks: His lead is built on gains among voters who aren’t paying close attention to politics, who don’t follow traditional news and who don’t regularly vote.
Disengaged voters on the periphery of the electorate are driving the polling results — and the story line — about the election.
The poll results also depend upon answers from people who are willing to answer an unknown number. What percentage of Gen Z does that?
I’m technically a boomer, and I don’t do that.
Interjecting to add my two pennies. Gen z isn’t as consequential here as millennials, (not that they answer unknown numbers.) Young people simply don’t vote.
Edit: For the record I’m a xennial and don’t answer those calls either.
With inflation your opinion is now 24¢, please insert one quarter.
