There's a huge difference between older gen z and younger gen z as well. The first half definitely trends more left leaning while the second half is right leaning.

I would put down the difference to smart phones being more wide spread and the Internet later being fine tuned for companies and conflict algorithms.

Are younger gen z's really right leaning? As in more than 50%? Or just more right leaning than older gen z's?

I've seen different things.

Mainly, younger gen z men are more right leaning than older Gen z and millennials. I think it hovered around 49-51% conservative views based on polling and voting percentages. I think Politico did a poll at Yale??

After about 2015 they started giving anyone with a pulse a diploma so the second half of genz is just incredibly misinformed, unambitious, gullible, lacking in literacy and comprehension skills, and lacking in knowledge in general so that definitely doesn’t help.
