OK, fellow S&H readers, what do we make of the generational breakdown here, if anything?
Uh, what's the picture supposed to be? I just see a square with white shapes in it.
18-24 -- 25% favoring out
25-49 -- 44%
50-64 -- 56%
65+ -- 61%
18-24 ... (born after 1991) they see the benefits of the EU.
25-49 ... Millennial and all but the earliest X (1966-1991)... EU membership 'pragmatic'?
50-64 ... Middle-to-late Boom, very early X (1951-1966)... people still disparaging "The Continent"?
65+, born in 1951 or earlier, mostly Silent and early-to-middle Bioom... they generally don't see the benefit of the EU.
