Fifty-one percent of young Americans are “fearful” about the future of their country. Nearly nine in 10 young African-Americans polled by Harvard said people of their racial background are under attack.” Nearly seven in 10 young Hispanics feel the same way, as do 45 percent of young whites. These opinions are from a poll released this week by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. One young voter told Harvard: “Everything seems out of control, and our politicians care more about themselves than doing the right thing for all Americans. We’re all extremely divided, and very few seem to have any interest in trying to unite us.” Some young adults questioned by Harvard appear to share an important opinion with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump -- that the system is “rigged” against average Americans. But the Harvard poll found most young Americans, aged 18 to 29, are not supporting Trump for president. Nearly half of likely young voters, or 49 percent, said they will vote for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president.
