Young Liberal Women May Be More Conservative Than They Think

While many young women are increasingly labeling themselves liberal, new polling data found they share many common convictions held by conservatives.

Eight hundred women aged 18 to 24 were recently surveyed, including 32 percent who identified as liberal, and the rest were conservative or moderate.

Across this political spectrum, the vast majority of women polled agreed with statements such as: “It is appropriate to have children wait until they are adults before having irreversible sex-change surgeries”; “When I date someone, it is because I am deciding if I would like to marry them one day”; and “Every kid should have the opportunity to go to a school of their choice, regardless of their zip code.”

“These survey results highlight a striking misalignment between left-wing policies and the outlooks of young women nationwide on issues such as immigration, school choice, sex reassignment surgery for minors, and cash bail reform,” stated a news release from the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women.
