Go get conversations!

Greetings everyone, welcome to Crooked Conversations.

This is your Crooked Contributor, Simone D Sanders, and Spokesperson for the Culture.

And today we're going to talk about polling, y'all.

Yes, I will be joined by Harvard's Folster De Jor, John Delivope, and Teddy Landis,

who is the student chair of the Harvard Public Opinion Project.

Harvard has just released the 35th National Youth Poll conducted by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School.

And this poll is important because it examines the political opinions and civic engagement of young Americans ages 18 to 29.

This matters because everybody's talking about millennials and what you all will hear soon about it, the post-millennials.

And what they're thinking about, what they want, what will they do in 2018, and Harvard has got the numbers that nobody else has.

I'm going to have this conversation today. I care about this not just because I'm a millennial, but because everybody wants to beat up on the young people in the political arena.

Everyone wants to tell us what it is that we need, what it is that we want.

Folks are hypothesizing about what will bring us out instead of going and talking directly to the young folks and just asking us, you know, how do we feel about this?

How do we feel about that? Well, Harvard has consistently done this for over 35 semesters, and I'm looking forward to jumping into these numbers.

Stay tuned. We're about to get into it.

Go get conversations.

Thank y'all for joining me today.

Thank you so much for having us. This was great. Thanks, Tomo.

Well, I'm super excited to be here. This is amazing.

So first of all, this is the 35th Harvard surveys older than me.

This is the 35th survey of young Americans attitudes towards politics and public service.

How does this even come about? Did you do this every spring?
