Polling and the Generational Divide

October 22, 2024
1:30 p.m.−2:30 p.m. ET

Research has also found that these same voters are strongly supportive of more progressive policies. What’s driving this new-found engagement by younger voters? What does it mean for Election Day 2024 or for your government relations efforts?  Join this webinar to find out.
