It's the Brian Lair show on WNYC.

Welcome back, everybody.

I'm Matt Katz, reporter in the WNYC newsroom, filling in for Brian today.

And now a call in for young people who are actively dating, let's say those of you in your 20s,

30s, have you had a hard time finding someone to date who you will align with politically?

212-433-9692. Polls show young women are trending more democratic and young men are

increasingly leaning to the right. How has this

dynamic affected your dating life? We want to know how your politics factor into your

relationships, especially for young people. 212-433-9-6-92. You can give us a call. You can text us. 212-433-9692. We're talking about this because one of our

producers saw an article in the Wall Street Journal, which reported that young men under 30,

according to polls, are skewing increasingly conservative young women women are much more likely to vote for

Democrats. This is a trend. It's increasing 20-somethings in the dating scene. If you've noticed this,

give us a call. 212-433 WNYC, 212, 433-9692. Some important background is that voters under 30 have been a pretty unwavering

pillar of the Democratic electorate since the late 80s when Reagan left office. So it's pretty

noticeable that young men have recently been defecting. They've been coming, they're becoming more conservative.

And the Wall Street Journal gets into a whole slew of reasons for this, including a response

to wokeness, a sense that white men are demonized, men specifically are demonized.

So listeners, especially young people, we want to hear from you.

How has this dynamic affected your dating lives, your romantic relationships, maybe your

friendships? Have you seen a noticeable difference over the past few years? It's also important

to know this shift toward Trump among young men isn't among just white men who have historically leaned Republican.

It also includes black and Latino men.
