Tucked into a fascinating article about partisanship and names in America, The Washington Post’s Andrew Van Dam and Lenny Bronner included a chart that captures a remarkable divide: the split in party identity by gender among younger Americans.

At right, the same data for men. (The percentages reflect the portion of the total electorate represented by that age and gender.).
