The presidential election could be significantly impacted by a deep divide between young male and female voters, as new polling shows.

A recent poll by the New York Times and Siena College revealed a significant gender gap in the political preferences of young voters aged 18 to 29. While more women in this age group support Vice President Kamala Harris, men in the same age range favor former President Trump. The 51-point gap between Gen Z male and female voters is the largest of any generation in polling history.

A 22-year-old registered Democrat from Pennsylvania, named Jahmiel Jackson, stated to Planet Chronicle that he and his male friends plan to vote for Trump in November. He explained that the change in the youngest voting group is due to Trump's preservation of traditional masculinity in a world of confusing gender roles.

"Jackson stated on "The Story" that there is a culture shock happening specifically with men his age. He grew up without a father who was killed due to gang violence at a young age. Jackson saw Donald Trump's recent interview where he talked about someone in his family who died of an overdose and why he doesn't do drugs. Additionally, Jackson discussed the challenges and choices he made after witnessing the death of his father."

Trump's appreciation of family struck a chord with him and others his age, as he said.

"The presence of a prominent male figure in politics indicates reliability and suggests that many men, particularly in today's culture, may be marginalized when discussing their struggles or challenges. However, the speaker believes that there is room for this conversation and that it is why many men his age are voting for Trump."

Ranger Irwin, a 20-year-old registered Independent from Nevada, intends to vote for Trump. He stated to MacCallum that his decision is based on the economy, as he aspires to own a home and start a family in the future.

"I want to see them focus more on America and make sure it's the America that everyone talks about, like the American dream, where everything is affordable," he said. "It used to be possible under one income to support a wife, kids, family, and house. However, in the current economy under Biden, it's not possible at all."

He stated that most of the men he knows constantly discuss the great economy during Trump's presidency, while women in his voting group appear to focus on other concerns.

MacCallum conveyed a similar sentiment to Jackson, stating that men his age believe their dreams are being "impeded" by the current economic state under President Biden.

"After being in office for a while, President Biden tried to withdraw from Afghanistan, which crushed one of my biggest dreams of serving in the military right after college," Jackson stated.

He stated, "I often observe my male friends of the same age who are also my peers. They aspire to possess homes, start families, and amass wealth. We all possess unique aspirations, but as we progress, we realize that it's becoming increasingly difficult to achieve these goals."

"Jackson stated that he has friends with finance degrees who are now baristas due to the inability to find employment. He believes that the Biden administration has hindered many people's dreams, but when they see Trump, they are reminded of the positive changes that occurred in 2019, such as cheaper prices, easier home buying, and improved family safety. Men of his age can relate to these experiences."

The Trump and Harris campaigns are actively targeting America's youngest voters on social media in an attempt to secure their support, as their vote is now more crucial than ever.

This November, eight million "Zoomers" (or members of Gen Z) will have "aged into the electorate," meaning they will be eligible to vote in the race between Trump and Harris, according to research organization CIRCLE.
