Recently released results of a new national poll conducted by the Harvard Institute of Politics show that in contrast to 2010, millennials who intend to vote in upcoming elections prefer a Republican-led Congress and possibly, a Republican leader. The findings show that slightly more than half of young Americans claiming to “definitely be voting” in November prefer a Republican-run Congress. Experts suggest that one reason for the shift from Democrat to Republican preference among millennials is the dismal approval rating of President Obama. Fifty-three-percent of millennials disapprove of the Presidents job performance, according to the study. Among those who say they will “definitely be voting in November,” the disapproval rating increases to 56 percent. Harvard Institute of Politics Polling Director, John Della Volpe, said that while the results reflect positively for the Republican Party, the change is slim and is in need of continued momentum for the Republican Party to succeed. Harvard Institute of Politics Director, Maggie Williams, agreed. “Millennials could be a critical swing vote,” Williams said. “Candidates for office: ignore millennial voters at your peril.” While this new poll might reflect a significant factor in the upcoming elections, its effect could extend beyond partisan politics. Perhaps, young voters are beginning to understand the dangerous impacts of liberal economic policies and are now reaching for fiscally conservative solutions that have been proven to create jobs, to generate wealth and to sustain opportunity for all Americans. If the study is in fact an indicator of millennials embrace of free-market policies, then these results do not merely reflect a single election, but rather a much larger positive trend towards the conservative party.
