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.”

      Right? I see all of these “appeasement” style pieces trying to get us to feel some sort of vindication. It’s all bullshit.

      Those stats might affect the adoration of his groupies, and how many are re-elected.

      Most horribly of all, we have Vance thinking he can step into the big orange footprints to be ordained next. We can’t have that weasel elected. It would be more of the same but more evil, less self-centered gibberish
