Voters aged 18-24 identifying as more conservative than liberal: Harvard Youth Poll | The Post Millenial The poll found that among American men between the ages of 18 to 24, 26% identify themselves as conservative while only 22% identify as liberal. The youngest voting-age group between the ages 18 and 24, including those who will be getting the opportunity to vote for the first time, are identifying as more conservative than liberal, according to a new Harvard Youth Poll.

This number is five percent higher than men between the ages of 25 to 29, where only 21 percent identify as conservative. This conservative shift is also seen among women, with those aged 18 to 24 being three percent more conservative than women aged 25 to 29. Nevertheless, most respondents, regardless of sex, identify as moderates.  This generational change marks a break from historical patterns where the youngest voters overwhelmingly identify as liberal.
