A new study says more female freshmen at American colleges identify with the political left than ever before.

It also shows the biggest gap politically between freshmen women and men.

The study comes from the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). Started in 1966, the study polls freshmen at four-year colleges and universities around the country. Last year, the study gathered information from nearly 138,000 students at 184 schools.

HERI asks students how they identify politically: liberal, far left, conservative, far right, or moderate (“middle of the road”).

Traditionally, most students identify as "moderate."

But last year, when the 2016 U.S. presidential election between victor Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton occurred, 41 percent of the female students identified as liberal or far left.

This was the largest percentage of young women identifying as liberal in the more than 50-year history of the study.

By comparison, just 29 percent of males identified as left leaning. HERI says the difference has never been bigger.

Around 27 percent of male students and about 18 percent of female students identified as right-leaning this time.

Why the difference?

Kevin Eagan, a professor of education at UCLA and managing director of the HERI, says there were more liberal male students than females in the 1960s and 1970s. The number of female college students identifying as liberal has been steadily increasing since the 1990s.
