Student Government Elections Survey: Fill & Download for Free

Very little. Stanford is looking for students who start things: start charities, start businesses, start school programs. If you have started a school government, this would be looked at.I was involved in student government and as a member of student government, I helped create EFFE (Experiment in Free Form Education) Week in my high school. I created a curriculum for 1800 students with 300 classes over a week in the spring being taught by the high school and community teachers. (The teachers were allowed to take classes with the students!) This involved an initial poll of the students to learn what classes they wanted, then a follow up survey to determine which classes they would take so that I could minimize class conflicts. It was a well received success, but it not help me get elected as ASB president.Did organizing the curriculum for EFFE Week, get me into Stanford, or was it the recommended letters or the experience with doing what high school administrators do that got me in? In the end I chose to me an AFS exchange student to France, where I am waiting to see a doctor to renew my prescriptions while I write this on a sunny day on the Côte d’Azur.So as the others have written, student government by itself will not get you into a top university, it is how you use it that counts!

Gen Z member here.Currently, it is difficult to gauge the political affiliation of Gen Z members in the US as - of course - most of us are not even eligible to vote, for even the oldest of our lot are only 22!* Thus, the minority who can vote are hardly bound to be representative of the whole generation‘s views. The youngest members of Gen Z, who are still in elementary and middle school, cannot necessarily be expected to have very compelling or lasting ties to any political affiliation.As such, there are no voting patterns throughout the whole generation that can be tracked, much less any voting patterns with regards to specific issues, party platforms, or within different demographic groups. It is not known how the party registration of Gen Z as a whole will change or has changed over time, or which candidates for national elections most of them support and why. So, a lot of helpful and interesting information that can determine the political affiliations of Gen Z members are currently unavailable for most members of the generation. It will probably take a few more years for this situation to change.We can poll Gen Z members for their stance on certain issues, of course. But how much does support or lack thereof of just a few policies tell us about their political affiliation in a broader sense, especially as many complex societal, philosophical, and economic influences contribute to the formation of one's politics? Take that annoyingly oft-cited poll indicating that Gen Z is less supportive of the LGBT community - does that poll on a single issue reveal any valuable insight about the generation's political affiliation?Then we get into the golden-ticket question for journalists (and politicians, and businessmen…) - how valuable are the results of current surveys when it comes to predicting how Gen Z members who cannot yet vote will vote in the future? Just because data tends one way in a poll of teenagers doesn't necessarily mean that in the future, their opinions won't somehow change due to changes in the factors mentioned above that influence the lives and thereby politics of adults just starting out - and that's not even getting into the natural shifts in politics which teenagers experience in their young lives! The youngest of this generation are still figuring out the place they occupy in society, and (hopefully) are learning what it means to be civically engaged.[Recommended rule of thumb: if you come across an article with some sensational headline like “Watch out, group X: Generation Z is not on your side!”, it’s probably not as insightful an article as the journalist who wrote it would like it to be, and there is a high likelihood of coming across cherrypicked data and hasty predictions of the future in it.]It looks a little bit like this when people try to assume, given rather limited current data, what Generation Z's politics will look like years into the future.Before answering the question, I'd also like to address the fact that in my (admittedly short) time on this site, I've seen dozens of questions along this vein that ask about the political persuasions of Gen Z. Although I have no doubt that you ask this question with good intentions, Habib Fanny, it is worth discussing the pointed influx of attention dedicated to the matter.Why are there so many opinion pieces both on and off Quora about this subject, anyway?Though I should hope I am wrong, I suspect that just like business owners trying their darnedest to turn a profit and marketers aspiring to earn more ad revenue, political partisans are eerily objectifying Gen Z, hoping for the latter's vote in the future as a key to assuring the supremacy of their party. Far too many articles champion Gen Z as the new force and hope for the liberal or conservative cause (and the destroyer of the other). Such views are somewhat puerile and facile, and remind me a little too much of arguing parents asking their child whether mommy or daddy is right.There are also a wealth of questionable views espoused on this site and elsewhere both from members of Gen Z and of other generations alike. For instance, how can one be so sure that one's experiences tell them that most members of Gen Z are liberal/conservative? If one is to rely on their sight to make such a judgement, one may as well look around themselves, as they would find a surprising degree of variation among the political beliefs of Gen Z. There are flourishing clubs both for progressive feminists and for libertarians at my school. I have seen MAGA hat-wearing teens even in my liberal Washingtonian city. In my speech and debate ventures across my state and country, I have had the opportunity to interact with peers of all kinds of political beliefs. Then there are the teens who are still figuring out their political views, who shrug when asked who their favorite candidate for president is or what their stance on American interventionism is.I thus admire the confidence, or should I say presumptions, of people who believe anecdotally that most members of Gen Z are either liberal or conservative.And how could a discussion of these questionable views be complete without mentioning those who believe that Gen Z is becoming conservative in sight of debauched liberal excesses, and those who believe that Gen Z are liberals-in-the-making, destined to uncritically follow the footsteps of their tree-hugging liberal forefathers? Why, if only voters had such simplistic judgement. If the political views of a population can be so easily determined a priori, then why bother collecting data to investigate what those views are!Now, back to the question at hand.There are some sources out there which are not only more reliable than the random Internet polls floating around nowadays, but are also informative. Below is a selection of a few. When perusing these sources, keep in mind their limitations mentioned above, and that the most informative data probably has yet to be collected.I. Issue-based PollsBelow are some studies and polls which have surveyed members of Gen Z for their opinions on certain political statements or current issues, such as:Pew Research Center’s survey of Gen Z opinions on social and political issues.Pew concludes that Gen Z’s stances on these issues are similar to those of millennials. Below is a small sampling of these stances.Gen Z is…favorable to affording a larger role to the government.more inclined to believe than older generations (excepting millennials) that climate change is man-made.sensitive to concerns regarding different populations in society, such as the acceptance of diversityand of gender non-conforming people.Overall, Pew is a great resource. They have conducted research about Gen Z in the past, and those works can be found here.the Harvard Institute of Politics Youth Poll.This biannual poll surveys youth aged 18–29 for their stances on current political issues. Of course, the results of this poll, like of some of the others below, are only representative of the views of the minority adult population of Gen Z. Nevertheless, here are some of the conclusions of its most recent Spring 2019 poll:Protecting the environment is now central to both domestic and foreign policy agendas of young Americans. In the Spring 2015 poll, 32 percent agreed with the statement “government should do more to curb climate change, even at the expense of economic growth” -- 23 percent disagreed (Net agreement: +9). Today, we find that agreement has increased to 46 percent, while disagreement has dropped by seven points, and now stands at 16 percent (Net agreement: +30).Concern over the moral direction of the country rising since last presidential campaign.At this stage of the 2015 presidential campaign, 52 percent of young Americans agreed with the statement that they were “concerned about the moral direction of the country,” while 16 percent disagreed (Net agreement: +36). Today, we find 61 percent agreement, and nine percent disagreeing (Net agreement: +52). Among those likely to vote in the 2020 general election, concern was greater reaching 68 percent.Half of young Americans experience anxiety, and it is correlated with views related to state of our nation. In the 24-hour period before the poll was taken, 48 percent of young Americans, and roughly the same number of Democrats (49%), Republicans (46%) and independents (50%) experienced anxiety. While political affiliation is not a predictor of whether or not someone becomes anxious -- we found that views related to our civic health are correlated.The 2020 electorate is shaping up to be more progressive than 2016 on a range of social and economic policy related issues, including on health care, poverty, and trade policy.Support for Single Payer Health Care (-8, to 47%) and Free College (-5, to 51%) fall after cost estimates are provided for each policy initiative.Northeastern University’s 4th Annual Innovation Poll.This particular poll examined the views of Gen Z members aged 16–19 towards economic, political, and educational concerns. This poll is from 2014, so it is a few years old, but its findings still tell us that much of the Gen Z population surveyed holds a few certain socially liberal stances.II. Mock ElectionsBack when the 2016 election was still fresh on our minds, teens voted for the candidates and issues they preferred in mock elections such as:the OneVote 2016 mock electionBefore every presidential election since 1992, Channel One News, a network owned by the educational company Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, has conducted a mock election among elementary, middle, and high schoolers across the nation. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the election with 46% of the votes from over 300,000 students; Trump received 41%, and other candidates received around 12%.In addition to selecting the next president of the United States, the OneVote ballot asked students about the political issue that is most important to them. The top three issues they named are:Terrorism: selected by 19%Education: selected by 12%Gun Control: selected by 11%Ironically, though the OneVote election results have correctly predicted the presidency since its inception before 2016, it failed to do so in 2016.the 2016 presidential polling conducted by myCollege Options and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.Of over 80,000 students aged 14–18 at the time of the election surveyed, 32% overall voted for Trump. The mock election results look like this:Interestingly, if we reduce the sample population to eligible voters (almost 4,000) only, the picture changes slightly.The eligible voter population was generally more engaged with current events and the news than the surveyed population at large.There is a whole lot more interesting data to be found on the official online results report of this poll. One can see the election results among different races and genders, for instance. I suggest taking the time to peruse through them.III. General Electoral DataBelow are some studies which offer insight on young voters’ voting patterns and their views of American politics, such as:the Education Week Research Center’s Young Voter Survey.This 2018 survey of 18–19 year-old first time voters found, among its results, that:among those surveyed, most (70%) identify as liberals or moderates; among those who plan to vote, those who identify as liberals are over represented, those who identify as moderates are underrepresented, and those who identify as conservatives are proportionally represented.many young voters believe that wealth inequality and a high cost of living are among the major problems in the current American economy.Here is the data, organized by party affiliation:the most important issue for youth voters is gun control and school shootings. This contrasts with the priorities of adult voters, who identified poor governance as their top non-economic priority in this 2018 Gallup poll.Here is the data, organized by party affiliation:the research conducted by CIRCLE, the Center for Information Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.CIRCLE conducts great work and research, aiming to increase civic engagement among the youth population. They have conducted lots of studies and polls on the youth voting population, which can be found here. For the sake of this answer, however, I will only discuss the most pertinent data.Here is data showing who Independent voters 18–24 polled before the 2018 midterm elections were planning to vote for:In the midterms, young voters voted for Democrats by a 2-to-one margin.Here are CIRCLE’s conclusions about youth voting patterns in the 2016 national primaries:According to our estimates, the considerable increase in youth voting throughout this year’s nominating process was largely due to higher participation on the Republican side. In every single one of the 21 states for which we can make the comparison, as many or more youth votes were cast in the 2016 Republican primaries or caucuses than in the 2008 contests. In states like Mississippi (14,000 in 2008 to 49,000 in 2016) and Nebraska (5,000 in 2008 to 16,000 in 2016), the number of youth votes cast more than tripled. In Alabama, nearly eight times more young people voted in this year’s Republican primary than in 2008: from 14,000 to 111,000.…Even with fewer youth voting on the Democratic side, and large increases among GOP youth, more young people voted in the 2016 Democratic primaries and caucuses than in Republican contests. In 18 of the 26 states for which we could produce 2016 estimates, the number of youth votes cast in Democratic contests exceeded those for the GOP. In six states, young Democratic voters outnumbered young Republicans at the ballot box by more than 2-to-1.And here are CIRCLE’s conclusions about youth voting patterns in the 2016 general election:Our analysis reveals that President-elect Donald Trump, while “losing” the youth vote overall by 55% to 37%, garnered support from segments of the youth electorate: Whites, evangelicals, and young people in rural areas. Not surprisingly, he also drew significant support from young people whose ideas and concerns tracked closely with the key themes of his campaign: the state of the country, an interest in stronger immigration controls, and a perceived untrustworthiness of his opponent, Hillary Clinton.On the other hand, while Clinton won by large margins among demographic groups like unmarried young women and youth of color, she lacked key support from young Whites, young men, and young White moderates.Interestingly and somewhat contradictorily, though there is a growing concern towards the state of America and its government among the youth electorate, they also have increasing hopes for the future.CIRCLE Poll: Young People’s Ambivalent Relationship with Political PartiesUnderstanding the limitations of the above sources, there is enough data in them, I surmise, to support a few general, apparent conclusions about the political affiliation of Gen Z. The first is that members of Gen Z are just as or more receptive towards social liberalism than members of previous generations, including millennials. The next is that members of Gen Z are acutely aware of enduring problems in America such as those plaguing its government and that of climate change. Finally, both self-identified Republicans and Democrats are concerned about issues which directly impact them, such as gun control, school shootings, and education. Members of Gen Z are somewhat skeptical of the future of the nation, as a majority believe that the government is not heading in the right direction and are worried about the values of the people - yet they are hopeful about America’s future, which is an apparent yet unsurprising contradiction, given that we do not well know the rationale behind much of Gen Z’s political beliefs. However, these stances do not necessarily point to a blanket trend of liberalism or conservatism among members of Gen Z.With regards to the registered political affiliations of a small population of the generation who can vote, although most youth voters are have voted Democrat in previous national elections, and although there are more self-identified Democrats than Republicans among them, there are many Republican voters among this population as well and their voting engagement is actually increasing. Still, we do not know if this statement will still hold true once more members of Gen Z become eligible to vote. Again, we cannot necessarily predict that most members of Gen Z will vote Democrat many years into the future, although most voters who are part of Gen Z that did vote in recent national elections have done so.All in all, give our generation time to figure it out. We have pointed thoughts about issues in America that affect us and our fellow citizens, although we do not as a whole rally behind a common ideology. Hopefully, older generations will not try to pigeonhole us into their preconceived notions, and view us not as pawns for their political fight but as thinking individuals each with unique beliefs who wish to engage in matters that are important to us and who seek to create effective solutions for the future.*I am using the American Psychological Association and the Pew Research Center’s definition of a Gen Z member as one born after 1997 and before 2012. This definition is, of course, simply a heuristic, and the year representing the lower generational bound is probably likely to change over the coming years. Nevertheless, this means that by current assumptions, the oldest members of Gen Z are 22 and the youngest are only 7. So, yes, voting individuals are among the minority in the Gen Z population.
