The <\/span>2026 midterms are on track to be the most expensive advertising cycle<\/span><\/a> in American history, and much of that money is chasing a familiar assumption: young voters live online, older voters read their mail. Campaign budgets have shifted toward connected TV and digital-first field operations accordingly.<\/span><\/p>

A new survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, conducted for <\/span>UPrinting<\/span><\/a>, finds the assumption running in reverse. Gen Z respondents were the most likely of any generation to say a street full of one candidate's signs signals real momentum worth paying attention to, at <\/span>21%<\/b> against <\/span>5%<\/b> of Baby Boomers, with every generation in between falling in a clean staircase. The generation raised entirely online is the one still responding to paper.<\/span><\/p>

The catch is where that attention lands. Roughly half of respondents say political displays in their community have made them hesitant to express their own views, and the hesitancy runs deepest in the places elections are actually decided. In states that have flipped between parties over the last five presidential cycles, visible political dominance was more likely to push residents into silence than to rally them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
