(PM.) A new poll out from the Pew Research Center confirms that “young people appear to be flocking to the Republican Party.” The National Public Opinion Reference Survey, published on Tuesday, confirms that for those Americans under 30, the GOP is the party of choice. This comes after decades of leftist indoctrination in schools, entertainment, and politics.
47 percent of respondents to the poll, Newsweek reports, were either Republican or leaned in that direction, while a lesser 46 percent said that the Democrat Party was their choice. This comes from data collected from February 1 to June 10 where 5,626 American adults were questioned.
“In recent decades, neither party has had a sizable advantage, but the Democratic Party has lost the edge it maintained from 2017 to 2021,” Pew said in their analysis. The analysis found that among black voters, “17% of Black voters under 50 identify as or lean Republican, compared with just 7% of Black voters 50 and older.”
Chief Political Analyst of The New York Times Nate Cohn said that the poll was “important because it’s used as a ‘benchmark’ — its results are used as targets for weighting by other polls.” He went on to say that “By subgroup, the headline is age: NPORS found the GOP ahead on leaned party ID among 18 to 29 year olds, even though the sample was Biden+20 on 2020 recall vote. The sample size is fairly large (n=496) and it hasn’t shown anything like this in previous cycles.”
Perhaps the most important poll you’ve never heard of came out today: the Pew NPORS study, a large mail survey with financial incentives and a 30% response rate. It’s important enough that I had to open it when the email arrived.https://t.co/BF0IO38XR2

“Uhhhhh…. one odd tidbit from the Pew NPORS: respondents under 26 that are registered to vote are almost R +30,” said Harvard professor and political scientist Matt Blackwell.
