DAVID MARCUS: Pennsylvania’s Gen Zers Embrace Trump Like Millennials Never Have
Columnist David Marcus has observed that Gen Z voters in Pennsylvania are more likely to support Donald Trump than their Millennial counterparts. This phenomenon is evident in recent polling data, which shows a significant difference in support for Trump among younger voters. A Harvard poll indicates that Harris leads Trump 61% to 30% among Millennials, but an NBC News poll reveals that this lead shrinks to 16 points at 50% to 34% among voters aged 18-29.
Marcus notes that Gen Z voters, particularly those in their 18-27 age range, are more open to supporting Trump than their older Millennial peers. This shift is attributed to various factors, including the growing awareness among Gen Z of the complexities of American politics and their differing perspectives on cultural and economic issues. The article highlights a conversation with young, blue-collar Gen Zers who were initially uninterested in politics but showed a willingness to engage in robust discussions about politics and life, indicating a more informed and engaged voter demographic.
