New Data Shows the Growing Political Divide Between Gen Z Men and Women - Feminist Majority
A growing gender divide among Gen Z is reshaping the political landscape, with young men and women increasingly split on everything from Trump to TikTok.
An NBC News Stay Tuned poll, powered by SurveyMonkey, shows that debates over President Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, immigration, and the state of the country have created the most division between Gen Z men and women.
In an overall poll among all adults, 45% approve of Trump’s job performance and 55% disapprove. When narrowing the range to adults between the ages of 18 and 29, the gap widens, with 34% approving and 64% disapproving. When you break these numbers down between men and women, you find that 45% of young men approve of the Trump presidency, compared to only 24% of young women. That is a 21-point difference.
For other generations, there is still a gap between men and women, but it is nowhere near as large. Among adults older than 65, the difference is 13 points. For those between the ages of 45 and 64, the difference is 9 points, and for those between the ages of 30 and 44, the difference is only 7 points.
When it comes to Elon Musk, there is even greater disagreement. While only 41% of the adult U.S. population finds Musk favorable compared to 59% who find him unfavorable, 41% of Gen Z men view Musk favorably, compared to only 20% of Gen Z women.
