Millennials Talk Politics: A Study of College Student Political Engagement

The report follows up on a 1993 study published by the Kettering Foundation that found students considered politics "irrelevant" to their lives and they saw little purpose in actively participating in politics. Current students do not share those views - they are eager to go into their communities and put their education to work. Nearly 400 students convened in 47 focus groups on 12 four-year college campuses across the country to discuss their civic and political attitudes and experiences. Researchers also collected written surveys from the students and drew on a national telephone survey to compile "Millennials Talk Politics." [publisher]
