In some ways, however, Generation Z stands out from previous generations. Regarding the Trump presidency , a Pew Research Center poll conducted in January 2020 indicated that only 22% of voters aged 18 to 23 appreciated Donald Trump's presidential conduct, compared to 32% of Millennials, 42% of Gen Xers and 48% of Baby Boomers. Regarding the 2020 elections, 61% of Gen Z voters will probably vote for the Democratic Party, as will 58% of Millennials.
Multiculturalism is a key characteristic of Generation Z, which is indeed a mirror of the diversity of the US population. A slight majority of this generation in the United States is white and non-Hispanic (52%). One in four Gen Zers are Hispanic, 14% are black, 6% are Asian, and 5% are of other origins. This generation will become majority non-white by 2026, according to projections from the Census Bureau , and this is already a reality in some regions of the United States (in the West, only 40% of Gen Zers are white and non-Hispanic).
Gen Zers are not directly descended from skype database immigrants, but are more often children of immigrants (22% of them compared to 14% of millennials), and of unmarried couples. They generally see family and societal changes in a positive light . Thus, 48% of Gen Zers and 47% of Millennials approve of gay marriage (compared to 27% of Boomers) and multicultural marriages. They are also more tolerant of women who raise their children alone.
