❓WHAT HAPPENED: New polling reveals that Kamala Harris voters place little value in children or having their own family compared to supporters of President Donald J. Trump.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Generation Z voters aged 18-28, divided by gender and voting history, including supporters of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Poll conducted recently; demographic focus on U.S. voters aged 18-28.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Democrat women want to die alone without children.” – Charlie Kirk
🎯IMPACT: The poll highlights a widening gender and political divide among the younger generation, with implications for leftist ideology if its adherents decline to reproduce.
New polling has revealed a stark divide among Generation Z voters regarding the value they place on having children. The survey found that 34 percent of male Trump voters ranked having children as the most important aspect of a successful life. In contrast, only six percent of female voters who support former Vice President Kamala Harris said the same.
Female Trump voters were more likely than their Democratic counterparts to value parenthood, with 26 percent ranking it highest, compared to just nine percent of male Harris supporters.
The sharp difference is perhaps unsurprising, given that the Democrats gleefully advertised a mobile abortion van during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last year, along with free vasectomy procedures for men. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk said of the new polling, “Democrat women want to die alone without children.”
This divide is part of a larger pattern in recent research. A May 2024 poll found that just 23 percent of Gen Z adults consider having children to be “very important,” a sharp contrast to 52 percent of Baby Boomers. The same survey also noted that Gen Z respondents were less likely to prioritize religion, patriotism, or community than any previous generation.
Gen Z’s attitudes come amid a declining birthrate and fertility rate in the U.S., with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stating that in 2023, the number of births decreased by two percent. Figures show the overall birthrate for the U.S. is just 1.6 births per woman, far below the 2.1 births per woman replacement rate.
Even lower birthrate levels are seen in Europe, where countries like Spain and Italy face catastrophically low birthrates. Advocates of mass migration use low birth rates as justification to replace the native peoples to shore up local economies and prop up welfare and retirement programs, although research increasingly suggests that migrants mostly end up being a net drain on their host countries, making their economic and welfare issues even worse.
