I am too (although I’m not 35 yet). I imagine that the trend for a whole generation has some connection with the politics as you approach 20 (for me, it was just before 9/11) and the economic opportunities in your late teens and early 20s (not great). I’m not sure how to account for the apparent trend reversal among young Millennials, although it could just be that they didn’t have such a strong memory of the GWB years, and the tendency to blame difficult times on the current president, even if the Hope campaign was strong partly because people didn’t have much hope for the economy over the next decade.
