Conservative Charlie Kirk’s viewpoints mean he brought violence upon himself to an extent, according to 42 percent of young liberal voters polled in a newly released survey.
Young America’s Foundation released the results of its fall survey on Tuesday, which questioned 1,021 registered voters aged 18 to 29 nationwide.
“Surveyed shortly after the assassination of Charlie Kirk this fall, 70 percent of young voters say that there is absolutely no justification for murdering someone over their viewpoints,” YAF reported. “When broken out along ideological lines, an alarming 42 percent of young liberal voters, however, say that Kirk’s viewpoints mean he brought violence upon himself to an extent.”
Kirk’s murder may have had a small chilling effect on conservative speech on campus as well.
“Compared to YAF’s previous survey conducted in January, young conservatives are now less likely to feel comfortable expressing their views, sliding from 65 percent who were comfortable at the start of the year to just 51 percent this fall,” YAF reported.

The poll also asked about economics and the worth of a college degree.
About half, 51 percent, said they believe “there is not much opportunity in America today and the average person doesn’t have much chance to really get ahead.”
But dig into those numbers, and a somewhat surprising picture emerges: “Among young white voters, just 21 percent think they have more opportunities than their parents, compared with 41 percent of young black voters and 47 percent of young Hispanic voters.”
What’s more, half of those surveyed at 51 percent said they don’t believe or are not sure whether a college degree is worth the return on investment.
