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.”

    Yeah but I don’t know how this happened in the first place, we’ve had decades of horse running screaming out of that barn, decades of smelling the smoke from that dumpster fire, my entire life of what a horrible person he is and why is he still in the news. Yeah, it’s decades late to close that barn door, decades late to suffocate that fire. Mango Mussolini is the very definition of failing his way upward. There was never a good reason for him to lead us out of a paper bag, and it kept getting worse

    I can only assume that insipid tv show he paid for to rehabilitate his image actually worked. Do people actually believe reality tv? Did everyone forget the decades of evidence before then? Did you actually pay attention to the script?
