This is interesting. David Strom, writing at Hot Air, reports on a recent Pew poll showing that 52% of men 18 - 29 are Republican or lean Republican versus only 34% that are Democrat or lean Democrat. This is almost the mirror image of women in the same age bracket. (While Gen X and Boomer men have a higher percentage of Republicans, they also have a higher percentage that are Democrats). The author notes:
The numbers look really bad for Democrats, no matter how you slice and dice them. While many national polls show Trump's popularity cratering--Gallup shows him grossly underwater--Republicans seem to be making progress based largely on the fact that Democrats are repulsive to many people.
The author also points out: "As women have taken the lead in college attendance, pay, and all sorts of measures of well-being, they have grown to despise men more and more. And the male backlash just keeps growing." He has a lot more to say about this ideological split between the sexes, so read the whole thing.
Good. The women they wife up will follow suit.
ReplyDeleteAdd to that the anecdotal suggestions that men who don't like to respond to polls are largely conservative...
