加利福尼亚州雷德伍德城，2022年10月27日/PRNewswire/——全球学生和教育工作者社区使用的流行学习平台“英雄课程”(Course Hero)今天发布了一项调查结果，该调查聚焦于将影响大学生中期选举投票决定的问题。“如今的大学生不再符合旧的刻板印象。他们通常是家里第一个上大学的人，很多人一边学习一边照顾别人、养育孩子、工作，”Course Hero执行副总裁Harriet Seitler说。“这项调查反映了一个现实，即从学生债务到经济和社会公正，许多问题都严重影响着学生。这告诉我们，他们打算在中期选举中发出自己的声音。”这次中期选举标志着占美国人口20%的大多数Z世代(Gen Z)首次有资格投票。根据最近的估计，这相当于自2020年总统大选以来，有超过800万年轻人有资格投票，千禧一代和Z世代现在占美国人口的一半以上。通货膨胀:66%的受访大学生表示，通货膨胀将是影响他们投票的一个主要问题。尽管X世代学生(69%)最担心通胀，但Z世代(63%)和千禧一代(67%)选民也将通胀列为最重要的问题。大学费用:各年龄段近一半的受访者表示，大学费用和学生贷款将影响他们的投票:Z世代(43%)、千禧一代(49%)和X世代(46%)。 Roe v. Wade: The overturning of Roe v. Wade will impact college students' votes in the midterms (46%), with Gen Z voters expressing the greatest concern across age groups (50%). Gen Z respondents indicated that the impact of Roe v. Wade will influence personal choices too, including who they will vote for (56%), their dating and sexual life (34%), and their state of residence (30%). Student debt forgiveness: 43% of students surveyed view student debt forgiveness as a key voting issue in this election. Across total respondents, female students (48%) expressed greater concern about debt forgiveness than male (35%) students surveyed. College issues influencing votes When asked whether education or college-related issues would influence respondents' voting decisions, an even higher percentage of students (59%) indicated that the cost of college and student loans would influence their vote the most. Gen Z respondents say school safety (48%), getting a job after college (45%), sexual assault in college (36%), and free speech and bias on campus (29%) will influence their vote. Survey Methodology Course Hero conducted an intercept survey on coursehero.com from September 23 to October 4, 2022. The results of the survey are based on the answers of 1,026 college students who self-identified as being eligible to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. The survey included male, female, and non-binary respondents aged 18+. Respondents were also distributed across generations: Gen Z (29%), Millennial (39%), Gen X (26%) and 58+ (5%).
