Reason-Rupe Poll: Millennials Don’t Like to Be Nannied

First published on July 10, 2014. Original text below:

“Millennials don’t like to be nannied,” states
Reason-Rupe polling director Emily Ekins. “They opt for personal
choice over government regulation across a number of products and
activities that many governments have already banned or have sought
to ban.”

Two-thirds of millennials favor same-sex marriage. The
poll also found that a majority of Republican millennials said the
government should allow same-sex marriage.  

“This is actually a part of a broader socially liberal
shift we’re finding among young Republicans,” states Ekins. “In
fact, four in 10 identify as being socially liberal.”

When it comes to marijuana legalization, 57 percent of
millennials approve of lifting the ban on pot. Sixty-seven percent
said that people should be allowed to smoke e-cigarettes in public.
