Young men and women are taking the 'gender gap' to staggering new levels

The split between men and women is one of the starkest divisions in American politics right now — and that divide is deepest in Gen Z, which is taking the traditional gender gap in American politics and stretching it even further.

New data from the NBC News Stay Tuned Poll, powered by SurveyMonkey, shows that debates over President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, immigration and the state of the country drive the most division between Gen Z men and women. But it’s not just pure politics propelling the pronounced gender gap. Big divides exist on policy issues like abortion and broader value questions, too.
