A new national poll reveals that young adults in the United States are significantly less engaged with politics and less likely to view voting as important compared to older generations. Many young people express disillusionment with the political system, feeling that it does not address their needs or bring meaningful change. The poll shows that only a small fraction of adults under 30 follow politics closely, and a notable portion identify as independents, distancing themselves from the major political parties. While some young adults still participate in elections, their overall interest in key political issues and belief in the impact of democracy remain lower than that of older Americans. Experts note that political engagement and voter participation often increase with age, suggesting these attitudes may shift over time.
