Half of Gen Z voters say they've lied about their votes: Survey
Half of Generation Z's voters said they have lied about their votes, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.
Among the Gen Z voters in the survey, 48 percent said they had previously “lied to” those with whom they are close about which candidates received their votes; 23 percent of all registered voters said they had previously done the same.
The survey took place Oct. 22-24, only a few weeks out from Election Day, which will follow a chaotic and heavily polarized campaign season. The 2024 general election brings with it multiple key Senate and House races, as well as a heated competition for the presidency between former President Trump and Vice President Harris.
In the Axios and Harris survey, 22 percent of the registered voters said they might “lie about” the candidates they cast their ballot “for in the 2024 election to someone close,” while 78 percent said they wouldn’t.
The intense polarization this election cycle might result in some staying quiet or lying on the topic of their political beliefs when around friends and family.
Harris and Trump are only separated by 0.6 points in an average of polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
The Axios Vibes survey featured 1,858 registered voters and a 2.6 percentage point margin of error.
