Newsweek, June 2025
Gen Z voters appear to be shifting away from the Republican Party ahead of the 2024 midterm elections, according to a new poll. Once seen as a demographic firmly aligned with Democrats, a shift to the right among Gen Z voters helped propel President Donald Trump to victory in the 2024 election. A recent poll found young Americans were supporting the Republican Party in greater numbers.
How younger Americans vote in upcoming elections could have a significant impact on the outcome of future elections. The latest Quantus Insights poll, conducted between June 1 and 4, found voters were split when asked which party’s candidate they would vote for if the midterm elections were held today. Forty-six percent said they would for the Democratic candidate, while 45 percent said they would choose the Republican.
