Book Announcement: Uncoupled

When I began American Storylines, the goal was to give me the space to talk about the fascinating research that never made it into our published reports or op-eds. Two years ago, while poring over a massive dataset of 20+ years of Gallup polling, I stumbled across something extraordinary: a rapidly growing gender gap between young men and women. I immediately published a post titled: “The Political Gender Gap is Exploding,” which is still the most-read newsletter I’ve written. 
 
Since then, the gender gap is a topic we’ve come back to again and again in our surveys. Earlier this year, I wrote The war within Gen Z, an attempt to explain what was really going on and why. In writing this piece, I drew on a lot of new and existing research, but still felt there was a lot more to be explored.
