    1000 people surveyed.

    This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

      Statistically, you can get to a margin of error of a couple of percent with that sample size. That’s good enough for political surveys, and that kind of sample size is a common one for polls of this sort.

      No offense but I don’t think you know more than Pew research when it comes to polling sample sizes and whether or not they are representative of the larger demographic.

      I would focus more on what we can do about it and less on burying our heads in the sand

      If it’s a random sample that’s a pretty fuckin decent sample size. You’d get a margin of error ~±3%.
