Young Republicans trending more liberal than older conservatives: Poll

Young Republicans belonging to Generation Z are generally more liberal than those who identify as being conservative in the generations before them, according to a new poll.

Defined as being born after 1996, more than half of Generation Z Republicans believe government should play a more active role in solving problems, the Pew Research Center found in a study released on Thursday. Researchers, however, cautioned that Generation Z’s views could change.
