The gap sounds plausible, but I highly doubt the overall positions relative to 0.

E.g., the Federal Republic of Germany has had conservative chancellors for 51 years out of the 75 since it was founded. We did not have a constant left majority (I assume that is what they mean by liberal, since the actual sense of the term doesn't make sense as an opposite to "conservative").

Edit: I fucked up, this is only about people below 30.

These graphs only cover the demographic of 18-29 year olds, which historically do lean heavily towards progressive.

The difference by sex is the really interesting feature.

That explains it and I did indeed overlook it. Thanks for the heads up.
