NBC Poll: Big Gender Gap on Politics, Social Issues in Gen Z

When it comes to the gender gap in politics and social issues, the space between men and women is most pronounced among Gen Z, according to a new NBC News/Decision Desk poll.

Among adults ages 18 to 29, 64% disapprove of President Donald Trump’s job performance compared with 36% who approve. But the survey found that young men are more evenly split (53% disapprove, 47% approve), than young women (74% disapprove, 26% approve). The 21-point difference in the president’s job approval rating has not changed since April.

According to the poll, the gender split carries over to Trump’s handling of key issues. On inflation/the cost of living and trade/tariffs, Gen Z men approve of the president by approximately 20 points more than their female counterparts do. The issue of immigration revealed the biggest split, where 45% of Gen Z men approve of how Trump is handling immigration and deportations versus just 21% of Gen Z women.
