Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I’ll share more reflections on the year in a subsequent newsletter, but it’s been a great year for which I’m very grateful. I appreciate the thoughtful comments, critiques, and questions. Thanks for reading and for your support!
Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election decisively. He improved among most voting groups. But there is one group of voters who still roundly rejected him—single young women—even as their male peers moved decidedly in his direction.
Even as the country shifted toward Trump—including a 10-point shift among single young men—single young women remained firmly Democratic. Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of young single women supported Harris, while only about one in three (35 percent) voted for Trump. A majority of their single male peers supported Trump, leaving a yawning 20-point gap in the voting preferences of young singles.
