Their Generation

Zoomers continue their right turn:
Gen Z appears to be divided in politics primarily between how they experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the latest Yale Youth Poll, there is an 18-point gap between younger and older members of Generation Z. Those between the ages of 22-29 favor Democrats by 6.4 points, while those aged 18-21 favor Republicans by 11.7 points. Youth political analyst Rachel Janfaza broke Gen Z down into two groups, with one being comprised of those who graduated before the COVID-19 pandemic and those who were in high school or middle school during this time. The latter group appears to view policies that fall under "MAGA" as counter-cultural and more appealing. "It's part of this shift among Gen Z post-COVID," explained youth political analyst Janfaza said, according to Axios. "They got really tired of being told what they could or could not do and what they could or could not say."
Those darn kids...
