New survey offers revealing look at views of young Americans

The survey of Americans under 30, by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, provides valuable insight in the context of the presidential race and reaches enough young people of color that the opinion of young black, Hispanic, Asian and white Americans can be measured with statistical significance.

Here are the stories generated to date from the GenForward findings:

• GenForward poll: Young Americans worry over extremist threat
• Poll: Young adults support new efforts to curb gun violence
• Poll: Most young Americans say parties don’t represent them
• Poll: Most young whites think Clinton knowingly broke law
• Poll: Police harassment familiar to young blacks, Hispanics
• Poll: Clinton struggles to make inroads with young Americans
• Poll: After education, young people diverge on 2016 issues
• Poll: Most young people dislike GOP’s Trump, say he’s racist
• Poll: In tumultuous summer, young Americans in a dour mood
• What young Americans think on top issues facing the country

The survey prompted TV interviews on MSNBC and the Fox News Channel with AP White House correspondent Julie Pace and a Facebook Live discussion between @AP_Politics Manager Jesse Holland and News Survey Specialist Emily Swanson.
