This is what I could find.

Well that shows a 47-49 split instead of the 42-53 split originally posted for 18-29 men.
Two points vs 11 points. Exit polls are still just polls, prone to some hefty ranges.
"Boomers are turning this country to shit!"
GenX:
This is why I've been saying that we can't expect the population to simply age out of conservatism. If that worked, it would have happened generations ago. Perhaps as far back as "cooking food over fire is making kids these days weak".
Wish this would be adjusted for age. Obviously someone who had more time to accumulate wealth will have more wealth. The real question is how much wealth does each generation have at the same age.
I am working off of one bar and have no electricity but this research has been done. I think pew has it, but it might be at ITAR
Then why Silent has so little?
Well this here GenXer wishes he could have some of that wealth. Unless 'have a mortgage' constitutes wealth.
Mortgage? No. Equity in a house? Yes.
Equity in a house is not all that helpful when the house is in an undesirable town in an undesirable state.
My point is just that a mortgage is debt while equity is an asset, so I don't think you should consider a mortgage wealth.
Oh, I see. Yes, I agree.
It actually does. The amount paid off at least, since the property is the wealth.
Considering how little we're going to get back when we sell it within the next few months before fleeing to the UK, I would say that I don't think it's wealth.
Isn't the UK politics pretty similar to US?
In the sense that the UK isn't likely to force my queer daughter into a conversion camp in the near future, no.
I would say it's roughly equally likely
Right, because Labour, (and the Tories and the Lib Dems) are all totally homophobic just like Republicans.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm just saying that I think this particular fear you have is roughly equally likely. Maybe the likelihood of it happening in the US is double or triple than the UK, but I think that would put the likelihood only from 0.01% to 0.03%, so basically the same.
Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won't do it.
Did you listen to the King's speech this year? I doubt it.
Did you know that the King's speech lays out government policy? I also doubt it.
Did you know that the King's speech this year included making conversion therapy illegal? I really doubt it.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., there's project 2025 and prominent republicans literally calling for trans genocide.
Yeah, remember how that happened in Germany in the 1930s when queer people were put in camps and then there was a big riot and they all got freed? No, neither do I.
Remember how it wasn't even legal to be queer in America until 2003? I do.
