51% OF YOUNG VOTERS BELIEVE HUMANITY COULD BE WIPED OUT WITHIN 15 YEARS

rasmussen-

Over the next 10-15 years, 29% of all voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that the earth will become uninhabitable and humanity will be wiped out. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 71% disagree and find it unlikely.

The totals include 10% who consider it Very Likely and 37% who say Not at All Likely.

There is a dramatic difference by age on this question. Half (51%) of voters under 35 believe it is at least somewhat likely humanity will be wiped out in the next decade or so. Only 12% of senior citizens agree (and only 4% of seniors believe it is Very Likely).

In the early days of the Cold War, many young people had similar concerns that the world would be destroyed by nuclear weapons. Another generation was convinced that overpopulation would devastate the human race by the 1980s. While we do not have comparable polling data for those periods, the response of young people today seems very similar.

The data also reveals a significant geographical divide. Forty-five percent (45%) of urban residents think humanity may be wiped out by climate change in 10-15 years. Only 23% of rural voters and 22% of suburban voters agree.

  1. They have been shoveling the same crap since the late 50’s. There is not enough oil, there is not enough food, the air is too dirty to breathe, there are too many people, The globe is tilting on it’s axis, the sky is falling! Yada, Yada, Yada.
    Same old crap, different wrapper!

  2. I believe we’ll be all betrayed by a demonrat Benedict Arnold political arm of the DNC that desires to give away the country to the UN.

    The US of A will become the United Nation of Oppression or UNPO for short.

  3. If you’re of my age 66.5 how many of you remember the threat of being nuked by the Russkies back in the late 50’s and early 60’s, the authorities (mostly the govt. and teachers) wanted us to believe we’d survive if we hid under our desks. We survived that and these young knuckleheads will also survive all the globull warming bs. Nothing is new under the Sun. There are Chicken Littles in every generation and the Rapture hasn’t happened yet either and probably never will.
