DescriptionAll eyes are on Gen Z as new polling shows a deep divide between young male and female voters that could have a significant impact on the presidential election.

New York Times and Siena College polls released earlier this month indicate a large gender gap in the political leanings of voters ages 18 to 29, with more women favoring Vice President Kamala Harris for president while men in the same age range prefer former President Trump. The 51 point gap between Gen Z male and female voters is vastly larger than any other gap of any other generation in polling to date.

Gen Z voter Jahmiel Jackson, a 22-year-old registered Democrat from Pennsylvania, told Fox News this week that he and many of his male friends plan to vote for Trump in November. He attributed the shift in the youngest voting bloc to the former president's preservation of traditional masculinity in a world of confusing gender roles.

"There is an ongoing culture shock that’s happening specifically with men my age," Jackson said on "The Story." "Specifically, I grew up without a father. He was killed because of gang violence at a very young age…when I was around 3 or 4 years old. And I saw Donald Trump’s recent interview…where he's talking about someone in his family who died of an overdose and why he doesn’t do drugs…and some of the challenges that [were] presented to him and the choices he made afterward."

E Pluribus Unum:
Gen Z is the one outlier due to the fact that people are rejecting EVERYTHING. You have some Gen Z people that are literally borderline fascists who want to repeal women's rights, while on the other you have people who advocate for the demolition of the US's Capitalist Empire.

I can relate to this. As a member of Gen Z myself, I have met so many people in my generation who are like this. I remember meeting somebody who literally wanted to take us back to the 1800s, but also meeting somebody else who was a literal Marxist. But these types of people I meet are only from Gen Z.

The big question is, how will Gen Alpha (the next generation) turn out?

I'd hedge my bets on it being more of the same, but maybe a starker contrast.

But ofc it's still too early to tell, 2028 would be when we start seeing the ramifications
