Young men in high school are increasingly likely to identify as conservative, according to recent survey.
In 2022, roughly one quarter (23%) of 12th-grade boys self-identified as either conservative or very conservative, according to a Monitoring the Future annual survey. Just 13% identified as liberal or very liberal.
The survey also says the liberal young men have not outnumber conservative-leaning ones since 2009.
Girls in 12th grade, however, are increasingly liberal, with 30% identifying as such in 2022, compared to 12% who said they were conservative. Among young women, however, liberals have outnumbered conservatives in the survey consistently since 1975, though the gap was far smaller in prior decades.
