But does Gen Z think we’re cool??

Millennials and older, fear not – we’ve got some data on what the Gen Zers are thinking.

Well, at least about politics and voting. According to the results from the 45th Harvard Youth Poll released last week (which our interns and younger writers begged me not to describe as “a vibe”), here’s how the youths feel about:

• President Biden: President Biden’s approval rating among 18-to-29-year-olds is currently 36%, a 5% drop from last spring.
• The Supreme Court: Trust in the Supreme Court to “do the right thing” all or most of the time dropped to 33%, down from 43% in 2018.
• The Future/Mental Health: About 47% of young adults under 30 reported “feeling down, depressed, or hopeless,” for at least several days in the last two weeks. And about a third of respondents (34%) said they often worried about a potential mass shooting when in a public place.

👍 Big picture: Compared to respondents ten years ago, young Americans today are more likely to approve of the government stepping in to help people. For example: 65% of people agreed with the statement that “Basic health insurance is a right for all people, even if they cannot pay for it,” which is up from 42% in 2013.

*DJ Khaled voice* Anotha one – half of all respondents said the government should do more to curb climate change (even at the expense of economic growth); that’s up from 29% in 2013.
