“America’s youngest voters are far likelier to vote Republican than their older siblings,” Axios reports.

“Generation Z may be better understood as two distinct sub-generations — divided, in large part, by how they experienced the shock of Covid-19.”

“Stunning stat: The latest iteration of the Yale Youth Poll found extraordinary 18-point partisan gap between younger and older members of Generation Z. When asked whether they’d pick a Democratic or Republican candidate in the midterm elections, voters age 22–29 favored Democrats by 6.4 points, while those age 18–21 favored Republicans by 11.7 points.”
