A new USA TODAY/Bipartisan Policy Center poll
“finds that Americans by more than 2-1 say the best way to make positive
changes in society is through volunteer organizations and charities,
not by being active in government. Those younger than 30 are
particularly put off by politics. They are significantly less likely
than their parents to say participating in politics is an important
value in their lives.”
