Harris Poll Shows Narrow Support for Draft Equity
The Harris poll finds a tight split over the draft with college educated groups more critical of equity and younger voters largely favoring the draft but sensing widespread evasion. About 55 percent of those 26 and under support the draft, while 54 percent of the draft eligible cite evasion tied to deferrals for college or teaching jobs. By contrast, roughly 30 percent of the population, the highly educated and affluent, express dissatisfaction with the draft, framing a two-tier American society. Voters are asked to choose between keeping the draft or adopting a volunteer system, with 51 percent backing the current draft and 39 percent favoring a volunteer force. A lottery-based draft, targeting 19-year-olds, is also discussed but not adopted.
