I could imagine they increasingly don't trust politicians either.
It's almost as if there is a pattern there isn't it?
Maybe we are being filled with more bullshit all around than we have ever been!

    Maybe that's precisely the goal.. increase distrust in Politicians so that people start voting for the extreme right who then get rid of the last resemblance of democracy.

    The same poll showed:

    According to the CNBC Generation Lab poll, which received responses from 1,088 people earlier this month, 46% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 now hold either a “favorable” or a “very favorable” view of democratic socialism. An additional 23% held “somewhat unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” opinions, according to the poll, which had a margin of error of 2.97 percentage points.

    and

    Almost half of respondents, 45%, said they believe AI will have a negative impact on their careers, while 10% believe it will help them with their careers. An additional 40% said they believe “the federal government” must set rules for AI, while 36% said they believe “an independent expert body” should set the rules of the game. Just 8% said they think AI “shouldn’t be regulated.” A majority, 60%, believe data center construction “must be slowed,” while 15% favor “speeding it up.”

    While they may or may not distrust current politicians, it does not appear that they're significantly distrustful of politicians in general.

    Well, not even a majority of 18 to 34s (smallest voting block) have a favorable view of something that has shown to work for in 36 of 37 "developed economies". I don't know how optimistic that is...
