Gen Z’s Trump Enthusiasm Collapses: Regrets and Repercussions
A recent Economist/YouGov poll reveals a significant drop in President Trump’s favorability among Generation Z voters, from +19 points post-election to -18 points currently. This sharp decline contrasts with Trump’s gains among young voters in the 2024 election, suggesting that the Republican party cannot depend on this demographic for future electoral success. The poll shows a majority of U.S. adults view Trump unfavorably, with his overall net favorability rating at -6. This shift may be attributed to several controversial policies introduced since the election.
