Democrats Do Best Among Generation Y and Baby Boomers

La génération X est plus conservatrice. Les boomers et la génération Y sont plus à gauche.

Republicans do better among Generation X

by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ -- Although Democrats currently enjoy a party identification advantage over Republicans among Americans at every age between 18 to 85, the Democrats' greatest advantages come among those in their 20s and baby boomers in their late 40s and 50s. Republicans, on the other hand, come closest to parity with Democrats among Generation Xers in their late 30s and early 40s and among seniors in their late 60s.
