Political preferences of different population groups in the USA.
A rather curious video showing what the US electoral map would look like if only certain population groups voted in the 2026 midterm elections.
The authors show how the country's political map changes depending on whose voices are counted: men, women, white voters, rural residents, and others.
Same USA, same elections - but completely different results. A vivid illustration of how deeply polarized the country's society is.
By the way, more than two years ago Financial Times columnist John Burne-Murdoch wrote about the global political divide between young men and women.
According to the data he cited, in the US women aged 18-30 were 30 percentage points more liberal than men of the same age (see chart). In Germany the gap was 30 points, in Great Britain - 25.
The author noted that young women are moving more and more to the left, while men remain conservative or move to the right.
His main conclusion: Generation Z is effectively becoming two different generations with opposing political views.
And the consequences of this split could extend far beyond elections - all the way to gender relations, marriage and birth rates.
