[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND alum here and a flaming liberal.  ND is not "right wing."  It certainly has more right wing and right of center students than most of the other top 25 universities, but its students are still overwhelmingly center left and left wing.  The school went 66 to 27 for Biden in the 2020 mock election, for example.  Its student body is a lot like UVA's or Vanderbilt's, but with more of a religious element.  Right wing rags like the National Review routinely trash Notre Dame for not being conservative enough.   [/quote]

27 percent voted for Trump? My God. I don't think that's the redeeming statistic you think it is.[/quote]

28 percent of Fairfax County voters voted for Trump.  Is Fairfax County "right wing?"

That is not the correct comparison. A more appropriate comparison would be to find the statistic for 18-22 year olds with a high school diploma and/or some college. The youth vote tends to be the most liberal. I'm sure someone can dig up the 18-22 stat if they have the time.[/quote]

:roll:  Biden actually lost ground amongst younger people vs. 2016.  Trump got  38% of Millenial/Gen Z voters (vs. 31% in 2016), and 42% of college graduates, so 27% is lower than average. “Some college” was even higher for Trump, at 50%.

But when you combine 18-22 and enrolled in a 4 year college (especially if you qualified it as a selective college) I'm sure you'd end up with even lower Trump numbers since those are both v. low categories for him.[/quote]

You can quibble all you want, but an institution that voted 2/3 for Biden in 2020 and 2/3 for Clinton before him is not “right wing” by any reasonable definition.  [/quote]
