Students at Siena College in Loudonville have strong words about the election, including the Siena College Republicans group.

About 10 to 15 students are part of the organization, including Lucas Helms, the president.
He highlighted economic stability and national security as priorities that seem to resonate with many young voters.

However, he said he was surprised at how quickly the results came in compared to 2020. He also has an idea of ​​why he thinks the polls exceeded the margin of error.

“I think they weren’t there, but they were in the same way they were in 2016 and 2020. Trump was always seen as politically hot,” Helms said.

He explained that people who wanted to vote for Trump didn’t necessarily want to tell a pollster.

NewsChannel 13 reached out to Democrats for Siena, but we were told the organization is not active at this time.
