Gender Gap Has Exploded

Ezra Klein interviewed David Shor, a pro-Democrat data guy for a polling outfit about last November's presidential election. The original is behind the New York Times paywall, but others have quoted large chunks thereof, and I take the liberty of citing one of those. Shor says:

For voters over 30, the gender gap was fairly stable at around 10 percent, which is roughly where it’s been in American politics.

[If] you look at people under the age of 30, the gender gap has exploded. Eighteen-year-old men were 23 percentage points more likely to support Donald Trump than 18-year-old women, which is just completely unprecedented in American politics.

Causing some to conclude that Democrats have lost a generation - the Zoomers - of young men. As a conservative, I'm savoring it.
