New polling released by NBC has revealed some eye-opening statistics about the gender and political divides of Generation Z.
When ranking over a dozen scenarios on their significance to personal success, male Donald Trump voters prioritized having children as most important, while female Kamala Harris voters deemed child-rearing the least important.
Only six percent of female Harris voters considered having children most important, in contrast to 34 percent of male Trump supporters who felt the same way.
Among female Trump supporters, having children ranked mid-list, being important to 26 percent of respondents. Meanwhile, nine percent of male Gen Z Harris voters agreed.
One X user posting under the handle @radish8r2 asserted that the poll results ‘by gender shows an extinction event for Democrats.’
Generation Z, currently aged 13 to 28, was the poll’s focus, targeting voters specifically between 18 and 28 years old.
Poll results were categorized by gender and voting history into four groups: male Trump voters, female Trump voters, male Harris voters, and female Harris voters.
These latest polling numbers only serve to solidify previous reporting that has been done about the growing gender divide within Generation Z.

Turning Point USA founder and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk summed up the results by saying that ‘Democrat women want to die alone without children.’
GOP Senator Mike Lee questioned who ‘convinced’ progressive women ‘to think this way?’
X user @ItsCaspius wrote that ‘probably only 20% of women in the dating pool want to get married and have children regardless of political alignment.’
Not wanting to bring children into a world that you think is upside down makes sense when paired with further recent polling from Gallup which showed that zero percent of Democrats think that the United States is heading in the right direction.
In contrast, 76 percent of Republicans responded positively to the country being headed in the ‘right direction.’
That level of partisan division is the highest ever recorded in Gallup’s polling.

One quarter of independents polled said that they were satisfied with the direction of the country.
President Trump’s overall job approval was found to be at 40 percent, which is far from sterling but his party remains largely united around him.
Ninety-three percent of Republicans approve of Trump’s job performance, while only 1 percent of Democrats do, a 92-point gap.
This matches the record for the widest partisan divide in Gallup’s presidential approval ratings, first seen in October 2020 ahead of the presidential election.
Voter registration data analyzed by the New York Times last month additionally revealed that the number of registered Democrats has declined in every state that tracks voter affiliation by party—a group that includes 30 of America’s 50 states.
The remaining 20 states do not register voters by party.
This trend was consistent between swing states, red states, and blue states.
The New York Times notes that explicitly, ‘fewer and fewer Americans are choosing to be Democrats.’
The Times attributed Trump’s sweeping 2024 victory—including wins in every swing state and the national popular vote—to this very trend.
