    The same poll showed:

    According to the CNBC Generation Lab poll, which received responses from 1,088 people earlier this month, 46% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 now hold either a “favorable” or a “very favorable” view of democratic socialism. An additional 23% held “somewhat unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” opinions, according to the poll, which had a margin of error of 2.97 percentage points.

    and

    Almost half of respondents, 45%, said they believe AI will have a negative impact on their careers, while 10% believe it will help them with their careers. An additional 40% said they believe “the federal government” must set rules for AI, while 36% said they believe “an independent expert body” should set the rules of the game. Just 8% said they think AI “shouldn’t be regulated.” A majority, 60%, believe data center construction “must be slowed,” while 15% favor “speeding it up.”

    While they may or may not distrust current politicians, it does not appear that they’re significantly distrustful of politicians in general.

        Well, not even a majority of 18 to 34s (smallest voting block) have a favorable view of something that has shown to work for in 36 of 37 “developed economies”. I don’t know how optimistic that is…
