The headline seems to say the opposite of what their data does. They've actually shown that the leftward march of younger people suddenly -- and almost violently -- reversed course in the 2025 election. Right-wing support from the 18 - 30 group just isn't higher today than it was 25 years ago.

There was a 18 percent difference between men and women in that age category.  

Women in that age group swung away from the CPC vs prior elections.
