A new Pew Research study looks at the growing divide in party identification based on educational attainment, gender, and generation.

The most striking finding is that the Democratic advantage among millennial women has soared from roughly 20-points in 2014 to 47-points last year.




Here are a few more highlights:

Democrats have a stunning 27-point advantage with millennials overall.

The share of women identifying with Democrats increased from 51% in 2010 to 56% in 2017.

The share of whites identifying with Democrats increased from 42% to 46%, although 51% are still Republican identifiers.

Democrats enjoyed a 15-point advantage with college degree holders in 2017, up from a one or two point advantage in 2014.

46% of Democrats identify as liberal, the highest share of the party to do so since 2000 (though still notably a minority of the party).
