A rather curious video about what the US electoral map would look like if, in the midterm elections of 2026, only certain groups of the population had voted
The authors show how the country's political map changes depending on whose votes are counted: men, women, white voters, independents, or rural residents.
The same United States, the same elections — but completely different results. A vivid illustration of how deeply polarized society is in the country.
By the way, more than two years ago in the Financial Times, columnist John Burn-Murdock wrote about the global political split between young men and women.
According to the data he cited, in the US women aged 18–30 were 30 percentage points more liberal than men of the same age (on the chart). In Germany the gap was 30 points, and in the United Kingdom it was 25.
The author noted that young women are increasingly moving left, while men remain conservative or move to the right.
His main conclusion: Generation Z is effectively becoming two different generations with opposing political views. And the consequences of this split could go far beyond elections — affecting relationships between the sexes, marriage, and birthrates.
