Donald Trump's Gen Z popularity plunges
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.

It’s almost like a ton of zoomers weren’t paying attention to what the fuck he was doing last time around.
If you think about it, a TON of zoomers were maybe 10 years old when he started his shit.
It's literally all they have known for most of their formative years. I blame their parents more then them. They never talked to their kids about what he's doing apparently.
I tell my two kids that what he is doing is evil, and anyone who follows him is broken in some form or another. I tell them ALL the stuff our country has done, good and bad, and to keep learning, keep questioning, and most of all: beware of people like him. They are world enders.
He's the funny guy from all their memes. They love those memes!
formidable years
I think you meant “formative”.
Changed it, thanks. Stupid phone.
A lot of people were the same age when GWB was signing the Patriot Act and didn't realize the consequences of his presidency until much later. Young people are impressionable but they do change.
Problem is there are too many old people misguiding young people, the capacity for change doesn't matter if the same mistakes will be repeated by the next generation.
It's not just the zoomers
this is what i like the call "the stupidity of the crowd"
They were kids. Their parents blamed Biden for the lockdown. They hated the lockdown.
But, many people are easily swayed by emotions. That’s why that whole “genocide Joe” influence worked so well.
Very few people can see the forest through the trees.
I was 16 at the start of the last time, so yeah quite a few of the middle and younger zoomers may legit not remember or were too young to understand.
the unfortunate truth is that most zoomers got politically engaged during the biden admin, most zoomers were in elementary, maybe middle MAYBE highschool during the first trump term. This was most definitely an expected result to some degree.
best we can hope for is a significant demographic shift.
In it for the jokes.
