Gen Z is deeply concerned about the future — and politicians’ ability to fix it

Is Gen Z all right? According to a new poll from the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, maybe not.

More than 40 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed last month said they are struggling or just getting by, and one-quarter believe they’ll be worse off financially than their parents. Many distrust the White House and Congress, both major political parties and, to some extent, each other. And while most reject political violence, nearly 40 percent say it is acceptable under certain circumstances.
