There was a poll posted on HN within the last week or two showing the expected slide rightward for your demo. I can’t comment on how it compares to previous generations.

Possibly the Nate Cohn thing from NYT in early June? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/06/millennials-will-not-age-into-voting-like-boomers.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/06/millennials-will-not... This is a pretty good analysis. Yes, some rightward shift. Things to change, though sometimes they change back as well. Millennials are still far more left-leaning than boomers as they age. > Critically, millennials are also much more Democratic than their predecessors were at the same age, as the chart above on the age gap in recent U.S. elections makes clear. And this exceptional partisan distribution is rooted in the generation’s distinctive social values, which do not typically change drastically over time.

Everything I've read on the subject suggests that both economically and socially, we're far more left wing and liberal than what we "should be" by this age. I'm not sure what poll you're suggesting; if it's only polling HN members I imagine it wouldn't represent the broader population at all. Be aware I am discussing largely British politics which is a different beast in many ways (from years of Tory austerity and Brexit catastrophe). Just a quick web search provides a lot of material harking the same story. This data is particularly telling: https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/https%3A%2F%2Fd6c748xw2pzm8.cloudfront.net%2Fprod%2F42800fa0-876c-11ed-b4ef-3dee38a55a6d-standard.png?dpr=1&fit=scale-down&quality=highest&source=next&width=700 https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/htt...
