Trump Approval Rating Has Fallen Even Further Among Millennials

Trump Approval Rating Has Fallen Even Further Among Millennials As Young People Continue To Snub President
BY RYAN SIT ON 1/29/18 AT 9:34 AM

Most millennials disapprove of Congress and President Donald Trump's job performance and think the country is heading in the wrong direction, a new poll found.

Sixty-three percent of millennials, aged 18 to 34, said they disapprove of Trump, with 46 percent of respondents saying they strongly disapprove, according to an NBC/GenForward poll, published Monday.

Just 19 percent of young people gave Trump a positive approval rating, down from 22 percent in the same poll at the start of January.

. . .the GOP will care. But, if they aren't a voting bloc of note, the GOP won't care a whit.

Same as with any other generation. And the newer younger generation of voters will have lower voting rates until they get older also.

But, since this age group goes up to 34, it seems they're a little later to the table than usual.

If you only look at those in 30s it will be higher than those in 20s.

One difference is the younger generations will keep getting more diverse. And the republicans aren't doing anything to get an enough share of those voters to replace the older ones when they pass away. Unless you count voter supression and cheating.

I wasn't casting aspersions. I said that the R's won't give a half a penny over these numbers because they don't vote enough.

On that point, we're sure to agree.

Democrats could take back Congress, impeach and convict the crime boss-in-charge and start to repair the massive damage Shitler and his party has done to America.
