i delved into data showing problems with the mental health of youth, surges in depression or especially true for our girls. this week i found cause to worry ab young men. this headline from the hill caught my eye. most young hen are single, most young women are not. the story reported as of 2022, the research center found 30% of adults are neither married or living with a partner nor engage ed. half of all young adults single. look at these numbers. 34% of women, twice as many, a whopping 63% of men, what explains that? i pulled the study and read with interest. it turns out since 2019, the she single men looking for dates or relationship has declined from 61% to 50%. in 2018, 28% of men ages 18 to 30 reported they had no sex in the past year compared with 18% of women of that age. the hill report said men in their 20s are more likely than women in their 20s to be romantically uninvolved, sexually dormant, friendless and lonely. they stand at the vanguard of an epidemic of de
majorities across all regions are satisfied with their standard of living and regions closest to the conflict have seen huge improvements in perception ises. how can that be? joining me now to discuss is gal lop s editor in chief. thank you for being here. first of all, how can you get accurate polling data from r russia? well, we have been polling for 15 years. it s not as hard as you think, but it s not easy. it s part of what we have been building since 2005. call ed the gallup poll where w have quantified the voice of 98% of the world s population. we have been hard at work throughout this conflict trying to quantify people s voices both in ukraine, but also in russia, in the united states and in neighboring countries. what accounts for the relatively rosy outlook on their economy that you found among the russian people? well, i don t the to overstate the rosiness of the outlook. russia and russians have paid
roooooouuuunnnnddd. lightning round. how could we be less happy when they didn t even have cars? there were no cars. i think everybody the expectation they would be invented the whole thing is about promise and hope. it is about hope. everyone is hopeful as you can see from this study. the one thing i got out of this was that gal lop had nothing but utter contempt for the people. if you read the question they said we would like to you imagine a ladder with steps. the lowest is 0 and the top is 10. tell me the number of steps in which the united states stands at the present time. that was the actual question. the whole thing should be thrown out based on that. it is ridiculous. it is ladderous. what if you don t know what a ladder is? we can send cat videos
last several weeks. but what do you think about that? why might there be a shift in the number of people who consider themselves republicans now as opposed to democrats? first of all, thanks for having me on. if you go to the top line at the top of the numbers on the website, the number one take away from the poll according to gal lop is the turnout will look like it did in 2008 than it did in 2010. they themselves say that means the president s coalition, younger voters, women voters, african-american latino voters will show up like they did in the past. more importantly there is all the talk about polls and the likely voters and talk about registered voters. we can talk about actual voters. if you look at places like ohio where voting started today, the democratic coalition is turning out in force. you are seeing more voting in precincts that went for obama than those who went for
that never would have happened. john mccain did that four years ago. i don t think it was simply because, oh, you know, the media wouldn t have liked it. it is a stupid campaign. but also if you think there are if you believe as gal lop says, there are 9% of americans who have not decided who they will vote for in november, then they type of campaign will not persuade anybody. the conservatives are not going to vote for obama. it doesn t increase the intensity of this like anymore than it is. so that note, we must take a break. coming up, is shoplifting wrong? dana perino talks about her new book only suckers pay for stuff. a new york times best seller. bravo. first, did bill s training help or hurt dana s performance on jeopardy. spoiler alert, what is not a violin?
