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.

        I realize that I, as an individual can make choices and am responsible for those choices. I’m not here to talk about that today, I’m only referring to the fact that when a natural human failing is set upon by money men with the intention of exploitation it is only regulation or destruction that will end that exploitation.

          or like, you could educate people, because for as long as these failings exist, they will be exploited, and the best preventative measure, is one that cannot be subverted.
