Half of Gen Z voters — and 1 in 4 U.S. voters overall — have lied to people close to them about who they’re voting for, according to the latest Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

The findings raise big questions about the limits and future of polling, which relies on voters giving responses reflecting their real-life political behavior.

    Exactly, that’s how 2016 was. I suspect it’s the same this year, although given how dependent Gen Z is on parents financially, I’d still get the secret Harris supporters have better reason to withhold the truth this year. I can’t imagine a Harris supporter kicking out their Trump son (even if they’re definitely disappointed).

    I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna get kicked out over my vote. And really, that isn’t even a Gen Z thing honestly, my dad got kicked out at 15 for leftist views and that was the 70s.
