I think it's time to stop attributing opinions to groups. I'm a Boomer. My cousin graduated from Belknap College and became a broadcast meteorologist. I don't think he ever owned a pair of bell bottom pants or smoked anything stronger than a candy cigarette.
The census bureau determines what ethnic group you belong to and publishes those numbers by ZIP code. The news media bosses say "Find out what group A or B is thinking", and they run a telephone survey in certain ZIP codes and they say 25% of "A" will vote this way. Adding "Millennials" or "Gen Z" without adding ZIP code, ethnic origin, etc only adds to the error. Yes, I know, they're experts and account for all that, but on election day we find out they really don't know and we all nod about the margin or error.
