The oldest members of Gen Z were first eligible to vote in 2016, but in that time they've only seen three candidates from the major parties: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Young voters are stuck in a political Groundhog Day — and many are disillusioned by the lack of choice or younger candidates who reflect their views. 58% of voters between the ages of 18 and 34 — Gen Z and younger millennials — aren’t sure if they’ll vote in November, according to a new Axios-Generation Lab poll.
