Interesting finding: Hillary Clinton won both the 25-29 and 30-39 year old groups in the state, but Trump won 18-24 year olds by 22 points. (Source)
Well, proof that Generation Z is going to be super conservative and alt-Rightist.
Seriously, though, I wonder if instead of uniformly being more conservative than millennials, Gen Z's political affiliations will depend heavily on geography, even more than the general population. Maybe (just a hunch) Gen Z will be as liberal as their slightly older counterparts in places like California but will be much more conservative in Midwestern states.
EDIT: The opposite can and does happen. Floridian 25-29 year olds went slightly Trump, but Floridian 18-24 year olds went to Clinton by 35 points. (Source)
Yeah, if I recall correctly, Trump won a plurality of 18-24 year olds in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He did not win 18-24 year olds in Maine, but did better among them than he did among the 65+ demographic there. He also did better among 18-24 year olds in Pennsylvania when compared to his performance among the 25-39 year olds in the state.
However, Hillary Clinton decisively won 18-24 year olds in Ohio, Iowa, and Michigan so I don't think this is a rust belt phenomena. She also crushed Donald among that same demographic in various sunbelt states (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, etc.).
18-24 year olds are a pretty small group with low voter turnout. I wonder if a lot of the apparent variation is just noise.
