A recent poll of young Americans, aged 18 to 34, reveals significant concerns about AI's impact on employment, with 27% believing they or someone they know has lost a job to AI. This widespread suspicion and mistrust color their views on technology, politics, and the economy. Regarding the cost of living, a plurality of respondents, 36%, trust neither political party to address it effectively. Despite fears of AI, a majority (71%) are as comfortable or more comfortable with it than a year ago, and many are actively using AI tools like ChatGPT. High concern exists about the cost of essential goods and services, with 96% worried about rent, groceries, gas, or utilities. The national economy is rated poorly by 48%, and finding a job is perceived as difficult by most. Homeownership remains a top goal for over half, yet only about half are optimistic about achieving it within the next decade. President Trump's job performance and handling of the Iran war draw disapproval from a majority of this age group. Looking ahead to the 2028 election, name recognition plays a crucial role in candidate favorability across party lines. Finally, a significant majority of young Americans hold positive or neutral views of socialism over capitalism, which may stem from a desire for change or anti-establishment sentiment rather than deep theoretical understanding.
