A rising generation of liberals

Americans born in 1996 or after are known as “Generation Z.”

A new Pew Research Center study shows that on a host of issues, from climate change to American exceptionalism to the role of government, Gen Z is the most liberal age cohort the country has ever seen.

According to Pew, seven-in-ten members of Gen Z say that the government should do more to solve problems. Six-in-ten believe that forms asking about a person’s gender should include more options than “man” and “woman.” Fifty-seven percent say they’re comfortable referring to someone by a gender-neutral pronoun. Six-in-10 approve of the NFL national anthem protests. Fifty-four percent say climate change is linked to human activity. Thirty percent say there are other countries better than the United States.
