Donald Trump is facing a sharp backlash from young voters, with new polling showing his approval rating among Generation Z has dropped to one of its lowest points yet.
The latest YouGov/Yahoo poll, conducted between June 26-30 among 1,597 adults, shows that among Gen Z voters, his net rating has deteriorated sharply, falling from -23 points in May to -41 points in June.
Net ratings do have a tendency to swing much more than a simple approval rating. Still, the president’s approval rating in June is low, at 27 percent. The margin of error is at plus or minus 3.2 percent.
Lucas Walsh, a youth political behavior expert and professor at Monash University, told Newsweek that Trump’s falling support among Gen Z voters may reflect how young people “respond to issues rather than party allegiances.”
I’m 26 but I don’t feel this way at all. 2006 feels more like a lifetime away for me personally. I could go back to 2016 like it was yesterday.
Such things vary by individual as well, I was basically in a weird sleep deprived fugue state through most of highschool at least during the day.
I get it dude. I felt that way for the last 2 years in college because of the Pandemic. I barely remember that time.
