Younger voters, particularly female members of Gen Z, appear to have formed a firewall for the Democrats, built on their opposition to abortion restrictions. “The new exit polls show that 47% of female voters felt angry about that decision, and 83% of those women voted for a Democratic candidate,” wrote the Brookings Institution’s William H. Frey recently.
According to another study out of Tufts University, “Young people care deeply about a wide range of issues, but data shows abortion was their top concern and had the biggest impact on their vote.” Younger voters “had one of their highest turnout rates ever in a midterm” and supported Democrats overwhelmingly. No wonder, as unusually high numbers of women had registered to vote in several states.
Younger evangelicals are clearly rejecting their evangelical parents’ politics. Growing numbers of young evangelicals and former evangelicals are questioning or rejecting the movement’s teachings on a range of social issues, including sexual abstinence (so-called “Purity Culture”), LGBTQ equality, patriarchy, racism and climate change. They are more politically liberal than their parents and are “losing interest in the culture war.”
For some time now, “younger white evangelicals have become more permissive of abortion, (even as) older ones have moved in the opposite direction,” supporting more and more stringent abortion bans.
