The GOP is deserting millennial Republicans

Millennials are deserting the conservative political values of their parents and grandparents, which could signal a more dramatic shift in political alignment than has been seen in decades.

“Growing ideological distance is not confined to partisanship. There are also growing ideological divisions along educational and generational lines,” the Pew Research Center found in a new survey.

The graybeards, however, have changed more than the youth.

Forty-five percent of millennials are consistently or mostly liberal, a slight increase from 41 percent in 2004. However, older generations have swung to the conservative camp. Baby Boomers were 21 percent conservative in 2004 and the Silent generation was 23 percent conservative in 2004. Now, 36 percent of Boomers and 40 percent of Silents have become conservative.
