- we asked 824 young people (18-29) what matters to them most as they choose a career. • 1: personal fulfillment/happiness (49%) • 2: wealth & influence (25%) • 3: time for family (18%) • 4: societal impact (8%) @axios + Generation Lab
- (1/5) We partnered with @axios to investigate college students' knowledge and opinions on critical race theory. Our survey sampled 810 students nationwide from 2-year and 4-year schools. Here's what we found:
- the record for college student turnout in a Midterm Election was set in 2018. • It was 40% Will students break that mark in 3 weeks?
- NEW college student poll: we polled n=1,392 college students on how "good" vs. "evil" they find the following countries/groups to be Most "totally evil" countries: • Russia: 32% • Hamas: 31% • Israel: 22% • Iran: 15% • United States: 11% • Saudia Arabia: 10%...

- Replying to @Generation_Lab and @axios(4/5) 85% of college students said they first heard about critical race theory within the last year and for 30%, this survey was their first time hearing of it. Moreover, 41% of respondents said they don't really understand the term "critical race theory."
