Today, the German Federal Election Officer released data on voting by age and gender for the 2025 election. Contrary to popular belief, AfD support is still not strongest among the youngest voters, but rather among the middle-aged (males). Support is also still much lower in older cohorts. (1/3) 🧵

However: Compared to the last election in 2021, support for the AfD among men aged 18 to 24 has risen severely from 7.7% to 25%. Among women in this age group, the increase was smaller, but the vote share still more than doubled—from 5% to 12.6%. (2/3)

This is also pretty much in line with recent research by @tabouchadi.bsky.social: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

The data also reveals a sharp rise in support for Die Linke among young people—especially among young women. Among males aged 18–24, support increased from 6.7% to 17%, while among females in the same age group, it surged from 9% to 37%. (3/3)
