Young Americans are so dissatisfied with the choice they have made on presidential elections, that nearly one in four says he would prefer that a giant meteor strikes the Earth than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to become president, reports Reuters.

At least the original question was chosen to demonstrate how young people are upset about the election, said director of the Center UMass Lowell to test public opinion, Joshua Dick, who conducted the consultation.

Thus, about 53% of the 1,247 young people aged between 18 and 35 polled said they would prefer a meteor to destroy the world than to get the Republican Donald Trump in the Oval Office. About 34% of those surveyed say they would be better than the end of the world to come if Democrat Hillary Clinton becomes president.

However, almost 23%, or nearly a quarter, prefer the Apocalypse instead of any of the two candidates.

About 39% of young people said they would like Barack Obama to be declared president for life and not hand over the power either to Trump or to Clinton.

Also, 26% of voters believe the country would be in better hands if they choose the next president by lottery.

‘Of course, we do not think they’re serious. The fact that one in four young people choose a gigantic meteorite to transmit something about political disenchantment facing the American youth,’ said Dyck.

The current situation comes as the significant mobilization of young people which has helped Barack Obama reach the White House in 2008.

The survey was conducted between October 10 to 13 and the sample included intentionally large numbers of people who do not intend to vote.
