How different groups of Germans voted in the federal election
Briefly

In the recent German elections, Die Linke experienced substantial support from voters aged 18 to 29, winning 27% of their votes—up 16% from 2021. Why this demographic shift occurred remains tied to gender dynamics. Women showed reluctance to support conservative parties, with the Union winning only 27% of female votes while men admitted higher approval ratings. Notably, women favored left-leaning parties such as the SPD and the Greens, further emphasizing the stark contrast between young urban women and older rural men’s voting patterns that shaped the electoral results.
