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.”

    Yep it’ll all be the Dems fault. Everyone will have forgotten about this bill and right wing media will push the lie. Easy money they say.

      What’s worse is dems might win and those same dumbasses that voted for them will question why they didn’t unfuck decades of this shit in a single term and then sit on their lazy asses the election after.

      And thus the cycle will repeat.

        And even worse yet it’ll be by the razor-thin 50:50 majority we always give them and they will STILL take the full blame in an endless cycle of self destruction.
