Topics
Galen Druk: 本期节目讨论了Morning Consult的一项民调,该民调显示Z世代对TikTok上名为“我到底嫁给了谁”的50集系列视频的关注度高于对阿拉巴马州最高法院关于试管婴儿的裁决的关注度。这引发了关于民调的善用与滥用的讨论,以及Z世代对政治参与度的关注程度。 Cooper Burton: 认为这项民调是合理的,比较不同年龄段对政治事件的关注度是有效的,只要样本量足够大。 Tia Yang: 认为将TikTok病毒视频与阿拉巴马州最高法院的裁决进行比较是不合适的,因为两者性质不同,并且认为Z世代被“诱导”了,因为民调中唯一一个文化参照点是只有Z世代才可能听说过的。 Elliot Morris: 认为年轻人关注新闻的比例较低,所以如果选择任何其他文化相关的事件,其关注度都会高于新闻事件,并且认为对Z世代政治观点的关注可能过高,因为他们投票率低,对新闻关注度也低。 Galen Druk: 该民调是衡量不同群体对新闻关注度的合理方式,但将Z世代对TikTok的关注解读为对政治漠不关心是不公平的。Z世代对阿拉巴马州的试管婴儿裁决关注度低是正常的,因为大多数Z世代不居住在阿拉巴马州,也不考虑试管婴儿。认为Z世代更关注TikTok而非生育权的观点过于简单化和片面,2022年堕胎问题对年轻人的参与度很高。民主党应将试管婴儿裁决与堕胎权联系起来,争取温和派选民的支持,而非已经立场坚定的Z世代选民。Z世代也关注共和党关注的问题,例如对委内瑞拉移民的关注。

The podcast opens with a discussion on the general election and how Americans perceive it, setting the stage for a series of polls and discussions.

Shownotes Transcript

The general election has begun in earnest and in this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew assesses how the country is feeling about it with a game of “Guess What Americans Think.” What percentage of Americans think the country is on the right track? Or that their preferred candidate will win?

They also ask whether a poll suggesting that Gen Z voters are paying more attention to viral TikToks than the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization is a “good or bad use of polling.”
