High school boys are trending more conservative than in previous years, while girls of the same age are now moving overwhelmingly in the opposite direction, according to a study by the University of Michigan.

Twelfth-grade boys are nearly twice as likely to call themselves conservative, versus liberal, with the gap steadily growing in recent years. Girls, however, identify themselves as liberal at a rate of about 30%, up sharply from 2015. 

Psychotherapist Thomas Kersting joined "Fox & Friends" Tuesday to share his thoughts on the "Monitoring the Future" survey and explain what he believes is behind the results.
