Additionally, 16% of young women rank abortion as a top issue, significantly more than the 4% of young men who share this view.The survey was conducted among 19,682 adults aged 18 and over and has a margin of error of \u00b12.2 percentage points.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Gen Z women and men strongly divided on Trump, Musk, and priorities: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1997497\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Young men and women are starkly divided on their political values and beliefs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/elections\/young-men-women-are-taking-poll-gender-gap-staggering-new-levels-rcna202672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">according<\/a> to a new poll.<\/p>\n<p>Both genders in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gen-z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Generation Z<\/a>, those born roughly between 1997 and 2012, are sharply divided on politics in the United States, mainly concerning President Donald Trump, the world&rsquo;s richest man Elon Musk, and policy issues, per the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25919931-nbc-news-stay-tuned-poll-april-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">survey<\/a> from NBC News.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3392800\/schumer-wont-commit-impeach-trump-democrats-rally\/\">Schumer won&#8217;t commit to impeaching Trump as Democrats rally around prospect<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3392785\/pritzker-new-hampshire-fundraiser-positioned-2028-presidential-run\/\">Pritzker positions himself for 2028 presidential run with New Hampshire fundraiser<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3392765\/trump-prepares-us-250th-birthday-honor-heroes\/\">Trump prepares for US 250th birthday with new project to honor heroes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The main driver of the gap appears to be&nbsp;Gen Z women, who are more likely to identify with the Democratic Party and take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-parents-fed-up-with-schools-racism-plans-take-over-school-board\/\" title=\"Texas Parents Fed-Up With School\u2019s Racism Plans Take Over School Board\">liberal positions<\/a> in questions across the poll, as compared to other generations or the U.S. population as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3392467\/100-day-report-card-trump-tornado-shocked-america-and-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">100-DAY REPORT CARD: TRUMP TORNADO SHOCKED AMERICA &mdash; AND THE WORLD<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among all adults, 55% said they disapprove of Trump&rsquo;s job performance and 45% said they approve.
