Young Americans Are Fleeing the Democratic Party

Younger generations are finally waking up to the Left’s woke madness and fleeing its radical ideology for the Republican Party. 

A recent National Public Opinion Reference Survey (NPORS) found that a shocking number of people under 30 are flocking to the GOP's side. The poll comes less than four months until one of the most important presidential elections in U.S. history. 

Forty-seven percent of respondents said they were Republican or leaned Republican, while 46 percent said they were Democrat or leaned Democrat. 

The report also revealed that the younger generations are increasingly gravitating toward the Republican Party. It is important to note that in the past, Democrats have been able to rely heavily on the younger generation’s vote.

“NPORS found the GOP ahead on leaned party ID among 18 to 29-year-olds, even though the sample was Biden+20 on the 2020 recall vote. The sample size is fairly large (n=496) and it hasn't shown anything like this in previous cycles,” The New York Times' chief political analyst Nate Cohn wrote on X. 

The study found that although younger generations still mostly vote Democrat, there has been a significant shift in the way they vote today. 

“NPORS found leaned party identification at R+1. That's the first time NPORS gives the GOP a party ID edge. Last year, it was D+2,” Cohn added. “That’s significant in its own right, given the quality of the survey. But it will affect other polls -- like that Ipsos poll that recently showed Trump/Biden tied."

Meanwhile, a political scientist at Harvard, Matt Blackwell pointed out that “one odd tidbit from the Pew NPORS: respondents under 26 that are registered to vote are almost R +30.” 

The poll found that the Republican Party has a 63.8 percent advantage over Democrats 34.3 percent among registered voters under 26.

The editorial director of data analytics at FiveThirtyEight said the shift can be attributed to the “historic realignment among young voters, to the point where they are as GOP as the silent gen and white evangelical Christians.”

Voters without a college degree are more likely to vote Republican, as well as those who live in rural areas.
