The Youth Political Landscape Reveals Conservative Shift
EDITOR'S NOTE: Amidst claims made by major media outlets about the progressive attitudes of the up-and-coming generation, a new respected federal survey of American youth paints a different picture. The survey from Monitoring the Future, spanning over half a century, reveals a notable surge in high school seniors identifying as "conservative" or "very conservative" during President Trump's first term. Male respondents who identified as "liberals" experienced a significant decline, while female seniors saw an increase in those identifying as "liberals." Despite progressive agendas in public schools, this study suggests that the indoctrination of the young generation into aligning with the Democratic party may be faltering. Is this shift attributed to Trump's influence?
Major media outlets, including The Washington Post and numerous left-slanted ones, have published articles to persuade the public that the up-and-coming generation holds more socially and politically progressive attitudes. However, a new respected federal survey of American youth shows otherwise.
The Hill cites a new survey from Monitoring the Future that shows an explosion of high school seniors that identify as male and say they're "conservative" or "very conservative." Data from the survey extends back more than a half-century to the mid-1970s. The eruption happened during President Trump's first term. Meanwhile, male respondents who identified as "liberals" plunged to 13%.

Even with progressives implanting their agendas in public schools, such as 'woke' math, this study shows that perhaps the indoctrination of the young generation into aligning with the Democratic party might be faltering.

Can this be attributed to Trump?
