34. “A Survey of the Political and Religious Attitudes of American College Students,”
National Review, October 8, 1963, special supplement. There are no extant studies of
Objectivist youth, but it is likely they shared some characteristics with conservative youth
more broadly, who have been identifi ed as being slightly below the norm for income of
college students as a whole, with a signifi cant gap between them and students on the
left, who tend to come from more affl uent backgrounds. See Riley Dunlap, “Radical
and Conservative Student Activists: A Comparison of Family Background,” Pacifi c
Sociological Review, 13 (summer 1970): 171–80; David Westby and Richard Braungart,
“Class and Politics in the Family Backgrounds of Student Political Activists,” American
Sociological Review 31 (1996): 690–92. Religious upbringing and family background were
the most important factors in determining political orientation, researchers have found.
