Of course they are also voting for Republicans, but the vast majority of Gen Z supports Dems and progressive policies.
"similar to Millennials, Gen Zers are progressive and pro-government, most see the country’s growing racial and ethnic diversity as a good thing, and they’re less likely than older generations to see the United States as superior to other nations.1"
Only a quarter approved of Trump.

DC just reported that it was going to an hour to vote on Michigan's campus. DC went to the clerks office and said it was just as crazy there.
Fingers crossed. Dixon believes that 14yo incest and rape victims will heal by carrying the child. She also says banning abortion gives women an opportunity to be mothers.

When turnout is up, it usually benefits democrats. Why do republicans try so hard to suppress the vote? Why do they gerrymander? Because left to a popular vote, they’d lose time and again.
We shall see. I just find it beyond arrogant that you see a bunch of people lining up to vote and immediately assume they’re Democrats. Some of you don’t seem particularly tuned in to the mood of the country - at all.

I think this part comes just after the bit highlighted in the tweet:
“On the ballot in Kansas was an amendment to the state Constitution that would remove language enshrining abortion rights, and the vote was a resounding “no” that crossed party and gender lines. But when Bonier took a closer look at the registration data, a more specific story emerged: He found that 70% of Kansans who registered to vote after the Dobbs decision were women with a median age of 23. And in September, after further analysis, he found the data was predictive of turnout. “In the August vote on abortion rights in Kansas, women under the age of 25 turned out at a higher rate than all men (45% to 43%),” he said.
It was entirely possible that Kansas was a fluke, with the immediate momentum of Dobbs behind it. But after analyzing the registration data from across the country since then, he found the trend held.”
We’ll see if the trend does hold but as a few people have said: I’d rather be a Democrat in this cycle than a Republican.
+1 I know the abortion vote was hidden in the mostly R primary on purpose but Kansas has a Democratic woman governor who’s up for re-election who should benefit if all those voters come back and vote again tomorrow.

Best post in this thread.
All that matters is voter turnout by demographic. Men are not as enthused as women in this cycle.
The polling is absolute garbage these days and it’s main use is to try to suppress turnout through media narratives.

Apparently yes.
So they were content with everything else trump and conservatives did just upset about abortion? Does not seem like these people will be very reliable.
There's a difference between content and motivated to go out and vote. They've been fed a line for years about how Republicans and Democrats are both equally terrible and somehow bought it mostly out of lazinesss.
Now they see the reality because of Roe V Wade. I suspect "these people" (condescending bulls---) may in fact be motivated and have gained a bit of clarity.
Call me cynical. If they are okay with Trump they are okay with RvW being overturned.
That is not the case with the R women I know. They are shocked that Roe was overturned.
I would love to listen in on a focus group of R women sometime. When Ds heard Kav and ACB during their confirmation hearings, we KNEW they were there to overturn Roe and it's exactly what they would do. I would love to hear from R women about what they actually heard and believed there. I find it astonishing that anyone could have come away thinking that Roe was safe with these two on the bench!
It's probably a lot like Susan Collins and here endless pearl clutching.
