'Incredibly bleak' numbers driving young voters away from GOP: data analyst

Younger generations are losing faith in the American dream, and CNN's Harry Enten said those "depressing" findings are showing up in political polling.

There's an observable generational divide in how Americans view their prospects versus their parents, Enten said. In 2000, 72 percent said life opportunities were better, versus just 5 percent who said worse.
