Young people: increasingly diverging politically, women becoming more liberal, men move towards more conservative views

10. Here is the data without gender segregation:

?w=640

2022 Voters 18-29 supported Dems over Republicans 68-31 (more than 2 to 1).

Although the 2022 margin shrank from the 2018 margin (and turnout declined), post-Dobbs it increased dramatically between 2020 and 2022. My recollection is that 2 to 1 margin has been sustained in the special and local elections since the 2022 midterms.

Surveys of young voters on policies, rather than partisan or candidate support continue to show overwhelming support for progressive policies.

Remember: the 2024 pool of young voters is drastically different than the pool of young voters in 2018 or 2020, as 4 million 18 year olds have become eligible to vote every year since 2020- that’s 16 million new young voters.
