                            September 11, 2025Why So Many Young Voters Are Turning Radical By Brian Joondeph
Rasmussen Report’s new survey of voters under 40 paints a stark picture.

Fifty-five percent endorse that idea, but just 38% oppose it. Only 29% of individuals under 40 are homeowners, and many feel “stuck,” lonely, or in crisis.
