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.

    The people that constructed the hate radio machine that takes a daily dump in the skull of millions of magazombies would have loooooved to have something like The Algorithm at their disposal.

    Uhhh… those people are the ones that control the algorithms now. Have you not been paying attention?

      I didn’t say they were necessarily a different set of people. They are definitely the same types. I’m just saying the Roger Ailes would have loved to have the algorithm at their disposal at the time they built Faux. Same for the money behind radical right wing talk radio.

      I guess now they captured much of cable, radio and local TV (when you add in Sinclair) - and they seemingly control much of the siren servers on the 'net now, too.
