Last week, Reason-Rupe released a new poll on the political perspectives of Americans between the ages of 18-29, considered the “millennial voter.” They compared this poll to a similar 2009 survey and found that young people have become increasingly more skeptical of government. Here is a look at some of their findings:

73% of millennials no longer support Social Security coming from the federal government. More than half of millennials believe that current and future benefits should be cut for retirees. Many also doubt whether Social Security will even exist by the time they are able to receive benefits.

More than half of millennials believe that cutting taxes in some areas would help the economy. Most prefer a smaller government that provides fewer services with a lower tax rate than a larger government with higher taxes. This is consistent with a majority also advocating for a reduction in government regulation to improve the economy.

All of this is not to say that young people favor government reduction across the board. Many millennials still support government action and higher spending in certain realms. For example, most believe that the federal minimum wage should be increased and that government should ensure everyone makes a living wage. Additionally, 54% want the government to step in and provide a college education for everyone, as well as access to healthcare. There is also strong support to raise taxes on the most wealthy, more government spending on infrastructure, and further assistance to the poor, even if it means higher taxes.

However, when it comes to social issues, millennials fall pretty close to most libertarians. Most show support for legalizing same-sex marriage, legalizing marijuana, allowing people to buy whatever food and nonalcoholic drinks they want, and reducing the drinking age. Nearly any nanny state regulation you propose, millennials will likely fight against.

It is easy to see that not all millennials are going to be identifying as libertarian any time soon. They probably will not consciously appreciate the work being done by market forces or openly denounce government institutions as detrimental to preserving liberty. What they will do is continue to remain skeptical of promises from Congress and the president, of interventions into countries around the world, and of privacy invasions here at home.

Overall, the Reason-Rupe poll demonstrates that millennial voters are far less likely to trust politicians than other voting groups. Our use of creative problem-solving through innovation and charity exceed every generation before us. This generation is driven by an amalgamation of technology, culture, and freedom, making us less dependent on an antiquated political system than ever before.
