Generation Z, or those born roughly between 1997 and 2012, are experiencing a gender gap like none other currently.
A new poll by NBC News, published April 27, found the partisan divide between men and women ages 18 to 29 is wider than any other age range surveyed.
Fifty-three percent of Gen Z women said they identified as Democrat, compared to 35% of men that age who said the same. Meanwhile, 38% of young men surveyed called themselves Republicans versus 20% of young women who identified as part of the GOP.
When it comes to President Donald Trump, NBC News reported that 24% of Gen Z women say they approve of the job he’s doing, while 45% of Gen Z men − almost twice as many − backed the commander-in-chief.
Trump’s favorability with Americans overall has slipped recently, hitting a record low for any president in their first 100 days going back to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s third term.
His billionaire buddy Elon Musk is getting a similarly divided reception among young voters: 43% of Gen Z men reported seeing him favorably, whereas 20% of Gen Z women approved of the White House adviser, according to NBC.
Gen Z men’s apparent propensity to lean right has been credited for helping Trump return to the White House. Trump’s 19-year-old son, Barron Trump, reportedly played a role in advising his father’s campaign on how to find and attract voters, particularly men, in their teens and twenties.
“He knows his generation,” First lady Melania Trump told Fox News in December, adding that her son was “very vocal” behind the scenes.
The Spring 2025 Harvard Youth Poll, conducted in early March, surveyed more than 2,000 Americans 18 to 29 years old. The results found young men and women split on multiple partisan fronts, including party identity and who they voted for in the 2024 presidential election.
Nineteen percent of men surveyed identified with a liberal ideology, compared to 29% of women. And in an almost perfect parallel, 28% of men said they think of themselves as conservatives, and 19% of women said the same. The genders found some harmony in the middle: 48% of young men and 45% of young women said they would call themselves moderates.
There was also some consensus when it came to the future of the nation. About 50% of young men and women each said they think the country is headed in the wrong direction.
