Summary
Donald Trump’s popularity among Generation Z voters has sharply declined since the 2024 election, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll.
His net favorability among 18-29-year-olds has dropped from +19 in November to -18, raising concerns for Republicans about sustaining youth support.
While Trump gained ground with young voters in 2024, recent policies—such as his mass deportation plan and targeting of DEI initiatives—may have contributed to this decline.
I hate articles like this. He won, he is in power. He will be in power for 4 years. His popularity doesn’t matter anymore.
Does if you want a revolution.
I envy the optimism.
The popularity of the President has a great effect on what happens in the midterm elections.
Ofc that’s dependant on us having a free and fair midterm election by then
minimum
Not necessarily. His lifestyle is atrocious
But his medical care is the best in the country.
That can only do so much, though.
They made a hologram of Tupac, I’m sure they could figure something out
He’ll be in power for only the next 23 months if we can get a supermajority of sane, congresspeople with backbones elected in 2026. So yeah, he’ll be in power for 4+ years.
If he were a normal president who cared about Congress and the future of his party in fair and free elections this would matter a lot. Unfortunately he isn’t and his plan is to make certain there aren’t any free and fair elections, so we’ll see what happens.
Need to rejoin England, go back to a proper parliamentary system. Everybody who saw the American Constitutional, from it’s first publication, said "this will end up as a dictatorship, as the role of president has too much power’'. Finally that scenario has played out.
It’s not great in the UK either mind, for fucks sake don’t copy us!
It doesn’t have to be great.
It just has to be better.
I mean fair enough but do you really want a GOP-controlled congress to have ultimate power?
Democracy happens whether governments want it to or not.
Elections are just a form of democracy where all parties involved agree that its going to happen.
Either way, the will of the people will ultimately decide the direction of every nation, regardless of what kind of government they have.
