Are young people leaving or joining GOP in Trump era? New study provides interesting answer – By Justin Haskins / May 27, 2017
A new study produced by the Pew Research Center has found that since December 2015, about two months before the first presidential primary contest, more young Republicans have “defected” from the Republican Party and now identify as Democrats or lean in favor of the Democratic Party than the number of Democrats who have defected to the Republican Party over the same period.
According to the study, released on May 17, 23 percent of young people aged 18 to 29 who identified as Republican in December 2015 said in March 2017 they now identify as Democrats or lean in that party’s favor. The data used to conduct the Pew study were extracted from the responses of 5,154 “panelists” from six surveys taken in “December 2015, April, August, December 2016, and March and April 2017.”
The data used in the study were weighted in an attempt to account for multiple perceived biases in the study, such as differences in people who agree to participate in studies compared to those who don’t.
The Pew Research Center also found an additional 21 percent of young people stopped identifying with the Republican Party at some point during the study period but returned by March 2017. Only 53 percent of young people remained Republican over the entire study.
