In my experience about a quarter of the younger generation give the wrong answer to long text based questions. The question stated was:

"Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity?"

Very bad question, especially if your possible answers are [Yes] and [No]. What is a household? Just the entrance?

It's a terrible question, yes. Too long, lack of definitions as you said.

Still ... my experience with this generation is that they are hyper focused on "safety issues" and don't really have an understanding (yet) for how the tools built for those things can be perverted into a dreadful weapon.
