Democratic Pollster 'Shocked' At Gen Z's Conservative Shift
Newsweek ^ | Mar 22, 2025 | Adeola Adeosun

A prominent Democratic pollster has expressed shock at data revealing a significant conservative shift among Gen Z voters, particularly young men, who helped propel Donald Trump to victory in the 2024 presidential election against Kamala Harris.

Why It Matters

Recent AtlasIntel polling shows President Trump's approval rating among 18–29-year-olds has climbed to 52.7 percent in February, marking a substantial improvement since his January inauguration.

This demographic transformation challenges long-held Democratic Party assumptions about younger generations forming an "ascendant majority" that would secure their electoral future.

The conservative trend among Gen Z voters—especially young men—appears to be solidifying during Trump's second term, potentially reshaping American politics for years to come.

One of the posters at the article posted what the current Democrat choices are:

"One is > 80 years old and has crazy white hair, the other is a 30 something Latina whose most impactful contribution to humanity was lugging cases of beer."

I think this is showing only because the dems’ party is fractured and they are unable to pull off their usual leftist propaganda storm. I think if Pelosi hadn’t gone after Biden to withdraw, the last 100 days or so would have quite different, had they been able to get their act together.

Because Democrats know if you get them young, they're going to stick around for awhile.

There is a similar trend happening in Canada as well as the older generation is favouring the governing Liberal Party Government while the younger generation tends to favour the Conservative Party of Canada. Looks like the future will not go the way that the social and political engineers had hoped.

I have a grandson that’s in the group. He went to a trade school. He loves working on machines. Diesels mostly but enjoys his truck, tricking it out, sports, girls with horses, and just enjoying water skying and life. He makes good money, works hard, and likes himself. Trump fits.

“the other is a 30 something Latina whose most impactful contribution to humanity was lugging cases of beer.””

I’ll bet she didn’t take the empties away or wipe the table when brought fresh drinks. That’s one of my crotchets about wait staff in bars. Keep the customers table clear and dry. I’ll give you a better tip. Hmmm, maybe that’s why she stole others tip money. Maybe was getting stiffed for poor service.

For years now they’ve gone beyond teaching respect for women and equality. Most men are okay with that, but then they turned to bashing and trashing boys and men. Eventually most men were going to realize that hey we’re not like that and rebel against it.

You can only call young men monsters, rapists, and useless for so long. Add being White, racist, and forever guilty to the mix and it impossible to see any young man, with high than zero T, being a leftist.

Fail to see the mystery here. Ronald Reagan did the same to to our generation back in 1980.

Goodbye gas lines...odd even days mandated to buy gasoline...Ted Koppel's "Day 444" opening NIGHTLINE...country full of "malaise" and Jimmy Carter's cable knit sweaters.

We never looked back at the Democrats again!

Donald Dems are why Deep State has to steal elections.

Joe polled so badly with the young they had to switch. Kamala was, for them, a disastrous replacement—and they didn’t have much better options.

Well, I hope that’s not true. I really do hope they finally are starting to see through the spin to what lies at the center.

Nixon did the same, won over the youth.

Of course, I was referring to the Democrat party.

Gen Z is tired of being lied to, told how to think and they want the lives their parents have… they are probably one of the most conservative generations.

I get it. Realizing you’ve been lied to in what you were taught opens the door to questioning of just how much of what you thought was true, is in fact a lie.

Their usual Leftist propaganda story has become impossible because so many more see the fake media as propaganda. The “Joe is sharp as a tack” narrative cratered the fake media’s credibility with the former squishy middle. The hardcore Left still believe their own propaganda, but many in the middle have been red pilled on this.
