Support for the Coalition is at historic lows among younger people according to the 2022 Australian Election Study released on Monday, which paints a dire picture for the Liberal and National parties.
It is almost always the case that younger voters tend left/centre-left and voters become more conservative with age; the aphorism about being a socialist in one’s 20s but not by middle age is modestly supported by data. Each Australian Election Study conducted since 1987 finds older voters more likely to support the Coalition and reveals a modest decline in Labor’s support over the age distribution of the electorate.
