加利福尼亞州雷德伍德城，2022年10月27日/PRNewswire/——全球學生和教育工作者社區使用的流行學習平台“英雄課程”(Course Hero)今天發布了一項調查結果，該調查聚焦於將影響大學生中期選舉投票決定的問題。“如今的大學生不再符合舊的刻板印象。他們通常是家裏第一個上大學的人，很多人一邊學習一邊照顧別人、養育孩子、工作，”Course Hero執行副總裁Harriet Seitler說。“這項調查反映了一個現實，即從學生債務到經濟和社會公正，許多問題都嚴重影響著學生。這告訴我們，他們打算在中期選舉中發出自己的聲音。”這次中期選舉標誌著占美國人口20%的大多數Z世代(Gen Z)首次有資格投票。根據最近的估計，這相當於自2020年總統大選以來，有超過800萬年輕人有資格投票，千禧一代和Z世代現在占美國人口的一半以上。通貨膨脹:66%的受訪大學生表示，通貨膨脹將是影響他們投票的一個主要問題。盡管X世代學生(69%)最擔心通脹，但Z世代(63%)和千禧一代(67%)選民也將通脹列為最重要的問題。大學費用:各年齡段近一半的受訪者表示，大學費用和學生貸款將影響他們的投票: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%).
