    A generation born and raised in the age of misinformation, it’s not that surprising. Still, hope this is made up bullshit.

    That’s… concerning. Source on this study? I’m curious what the population is

    Here’s the source for it. Since this is PCM, you should quote the bottom part of that page, too, for maximum lulz. 7% of Biden voters vs 4% of Trump voters. 10% registered Democrats vs 6% Republicans. 14% urban vs 3% rural.

    Clearly the problem is young, urban Democrats.

    I can’t blame the question for all of it…I do think it makes a difference. Ask it the other way around like “did the Nazi’s murder 6 million Jews during World War 2?” And I imagine we’d get a less depressing answer.

      Genuine question, how is that different? Are you implying that those that said “yes” don’t know what the Holocaust was or am I misunderstanding?

        Not implying, I’m talking about survey methodology.

        I’m saying that asking the same question different ways will get different answers.

    Damn us zoomers really are an outlier on this one. I’d be curious to see some more numbers about the younger generations.

    Also, the male-female break on the “agree” point isn’t that surprising to me, as we all know girls on the internet don’t exist. Still very interesting data, the next few years, when zoomers gradually replace the more elderly voters, will likely be very… interesting.
