And after that, immigration.

The Rest Is Politics

So cost of living,

The Rest Is Politics

Immigration, and then the third in the top three of their concerns, our economy.

But immigration particularly stood out to me because that's not something you associate with young people.

The Rest Is Politics
536. Is Trump’s Corruption Machine Reaching New Extremes?

We've got a bit of a misconception in this country that's something that only older people, perhaps reading the right-wing tabloids, are worried about.

The Rest Is Politics

The Rest Is Politics
536. Is Trump’s Corruption Machine Reaching New Extremes?

So you could argue that young people were looking at who they were being presented with in the
