The split between men and women is one of the strongest divisions of American politics at the moment – and this division is the deepest in generation Z, which makes the traditional gap of the sexes in American politics and stretches even more.
New data from NBC News remains Towned Poll,, Powered by Surveymonkeyshows that the debates on President Donald Trump, the billionaire Elon Musk, immigration and the country of the country lead the most division between men and women of generation Z. But it is not only pure policy propeling the gap made between the sexes. Large divisions exist on political issues such as abortion and broader questions.
In large part, the driver is the women of generation Z, who are more likely to identify themselves as a democrats and take the liberal position in questions through the survey of other generations or the American population as a whole. And the effects of this dramatic split could define American policy for decades if it continues.
Take Trump’s approval rating. Among all adults, 45% say they approve of Trump’s professional performance and 55% disapprove of. Adults aged 18 to 29 classify President worse than that: 34% approve, 66% disapprove of.
But the difference between young men and women is significant. While 45% of young men approve of Trump’s professional performance, only 24% of young women do it – a difference of 21 points.
Gender gaps mark each generation, but they are not as austere elsewhere. There is only a 7 -point gap on Trump’s approval rating between men and women aged 65 and over; a difference of 13 points between those aged 45 and 64; And a difference of 9 points between 30 to 44 year olds. The large sample of the survey includes 2,230 respondents aged 18 to 29, with an error margin of more or less 2.7 percentage points among this cohort.
There is a similar and extra-large gap between men and women of generation Z on their point of view on immigration management by Trump, as well as their opinions on the billionaire adviser to the White House Musk.musk is seen favorably by 41% of all adults and unfavorably by 59%. But while men of generation Z are almost in line with the national population, 43% considering it favorably, only 20% of women of the Z generation see Musk favorably.
Trump and Musk’s negative opinions underline how younger women in a democratic sense are compared to younger men. In addition, young women are more likely to Align with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
A slight majority of women of generation Z (52%) say they consider themselves democrats – the greatest concentration of any age and gender group within a political party. Among the men of generation Z, a third say that they are democrats.
Meanwhile, 38% of men of generation Z identify as Republicans, against 20% of women of the Z generation. The partisan gap of the sexes is wider among the Z generation than in any other generation.
Women of generation Z are also more pessimistic about the management of the country. Forty percent of all adults say that America is on the right track, online with the 37% of men aged 18 to 29 who agree. But only 20% of women in generation Z feel the same.
The political fracture between men and women of generation Z comes next to other notable divisions, how this generation consumes news and information on how it deals with a series of cultural problems differently from older generations.
About a third of young men (37%) say that they are “extremely proud” to be an American – double on the part of young women who say the same thing. And a higher share of young women (22%) say that they are “not at all” proud of being American, against 13% of young men. In comparison, the majority of men and women over 65 say they are extremely proud to be Americans.
Although this question is only American, the growing fracture between the sexes between young people is not. Surveyers, social science specialists and politicians have observed that this happens In other countries in recent years, Ask broader questions about global culture and information ecosystems.
Twice as many women under 30 say they consider Tiktok their favorite source of new and information compared to young men, while young men are twice as likely to call YouTube their favorite source of new and information compared to young women, according to the survey.
The survey also describes the differences in priority. The biggest part of young men (31%) says that the economy is most important to them at the moment, while the first issue chosen by the biggest parts of generation Z (22%) is threats to democracy. The share of women of the Z generation who say that abortion is their first problem (16%) is more than double of any other age group. Meanwhile, 4% of men of generation Z say that abortion is the most important problem for them.
There is also a broader gap between men and women of generation Z than in other generations on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, 85% of young women saying that such efforts are useful against 63% of young men who say the same thing.
While the majorities of men and women of generation Z disapprove of the way Trump manages Dei, young women do it at a much higher level, with 78% disapproving compared to 54% of men from generation Z. And in particular, generation Z also has a wider gender difference compared to older generations on questions on gender problems and roles.
More young men (69%) agree that there are only two sexes, while about half (51%) of young women say the same thing. This chasm is twice as important as the overall gap of the sexes on this issue.
A higher share of men of generation Z (72%) that women of generation Z (56%) say that transgender women should not be allowed to play for women. Men and women also presented a split on the question of whether the country would be stronger if women played “traditional gender roles”, such as households and education of children.
Three in four women are in disagreement that the country would be stronger if women occupied traditional roles, with 58% strongly in disagreement. While 59% of men of generation Z also disagree with this feeling, only a third party say they are strongly disagreed.
