Since 1975, Monitoring the Future has conducted an ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of Americans from adolescence through adulthood.
Their recent survey shows young men are trending conservative.
In 2022, the study found that 23% of 12th grade boys identified as conservative with only 13% describing themselves as liberal.
Over the decades, the study shows that, while conservative identification in young men trended upwards in the 80s and early 90s, it steadily declined until recent years when the shift to the right was noted.
