This mixed-methods study examined the political typologies, perspectives, and presidential
preferences of 115 8th-grade students both six weeks before and on Election Day 2016. Data from the Pew
Research Center’s Political Typology quiz, surveys, coursework, and classroom observations revealed the
students political candidate preferences were stable, though their political ideologies were quite malleable,
with more than half (55%) of the students’ political typologies changing over the six weeks. After the election,
most students expressed disdain and fear, yet few were able to express actions they could take to engage in the
political process.
