Those born after 1980 have undergone a dramatic shift in party affiliation in the last few years.
The Republican Party has enjoyed massive gains among young Americans over the span of about 21 months, according to recent polling conducted by Pew Research.
According to surveys of registered voters in August 2023, men and women in categories ranging from 18 years old all the way up to 49 years old favored Democrats.
In fact, the only two categories that leaned Republican at that time were 50-to-64-year-old males (57%) and over-65-year-old males (59%).
As of June 2025, however, young American adults have swung in the other direction en masse.
