- Ifop’s new radioscopy reports 56% of 15–17-year-olds place themselves on the right versus 44% on the left.
- The balance has flipped since 1994, when 54% of teens identified with the left and 46% with the right.
- A 28-point gender divide emerges, with 64% of boys leaning right while 53% of girls identify with the left and are more progressive on societal issues.
- Analysts describe a “dégauchisation,” noting fewer youths claim the left label and that left‑aligned adolescents tend to show steadier electoral attachments than right or far‑right sympathizers.
- The study surveyed 1,028 teens in metropolitan France from December 19–23, 2025, and highlights rising concern about war and insecurity and a majority rejecting criticism of religions.
