Italy's Young Voters Shift Away from Meloni Ahead of 2027 Election
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government faces declining support among young voters ahead of the 2027 election, with polls showing less than 30% backing from under-35s compared to nearly 50% for the centre-left opposition. Analysts attribute this trend to limited economic opportunities for youth and law-and-order policies perceived to disproportionately affect them. A gender gap is evident, with young men favoring the right and women leaning left. This youth disaffection could influence the closely contested upcoming election.
