A poll shows the president's net favorable rating among those aged 18-29 has fallen dramatically in the past three months.

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.

    behind every statement since I’m hearing so many people say things so friggin bizarre I never suspected I would ever hear such a thing and expect they were actually serious.

      that’s just a weirdo who replies with “you mean that” to every comment they see that starts with “I mean”

        Ah, I see. Thanks. As annoying as that is, I probably WILL try not to do that so often.
