Gen Z Loves Donald Trump More Than Any Other Age Group
Newsweek ^ | 2/27/24 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 02/27/2024 2:24:55 PM PST by CFW

Donald Trump has a higher approval rating among young adults than any other age demographic, according to a poll.

A Harvard CAPS–Harris survey of more than 2,000 registered voters showed that 57 percent approved of the job the Republican did as president, with 41 percent saying they disapproved.

When the results are broken down further, they show that almost two-thirds (64 percent) of voters in Generation Z—or those aged 18 to 24—approved of Trump's job as president. The age range of this demographic means some respondents were children during Trump's time in office, 2017 to 2021.

However, the results could be yet another warning sign for President Joe Biden's reelection hopes. In 2020, young voters were crucial in Biden's victory, as Generation Z and millennials supported Biden over Trump by margins of about 20 points in the record-breaking turnout, according to analysis by the Pew Research Center.

"We don't know enough yet," Neil O'Brian, a political scientist at the University of Oregon, told Axios. "But this idea that young people are gonna keep populating into the Democratic Party? There are some question marks around that."

Struggling to find a job has a way of focusing a young persons mind when they are first starting life as an adult.

The make the job they get near worthless with inflation and you have what we have now.

The Dems have been expecting Gen Z (abortion, ya know) to strongly support Biden in 2024. This is not the first survey to show Gen Z slipping away from them. This has to be a big concern to the commie party.

Boomers are 1946-1964, for the real dates.

Gen Z also has many Antifa extremists.

Gen Z seems to be more polarized than any other demographic. Which makes sense, as our nation is increasingly polarized.

When I was child, Democrat and Republican adults had friendly conversations, were friends, and supported whoever was elected president.

My father was a Republican, but he strongly supported Carter after Carter was elected, because "He's our president now."

My Gen-z son and all his friends (who I would not have even considered conservative) are all in for Trump.

Even the one that voted for Biden in 2020, amd they never did let him live it down.

The question is, will the fraud machine be able to over come this surge.

There are two groups of Boomers. They added a Boomers II because the later boomers are a bit younger and there is a huge difference between the two.

The divisions are arbitrary and meaningless, and the names are incredibly stupid.

You’ve got that right! We have little in common with the Boomer I group.

There are still alert deniers of the Boomer II and you’ll find responses to that effect, but the key identifier is if their number was called up and the draft ended you might be a boomer II. I have absolutely no affiliation with the earlier Boomer group... they were insane, it might have been STDs it might have been the LSD, that whole Counter Culture thing was something that I wasn’t included in and in retrospect I’m glad I wasn’t.

I think there’s a lot of wannabe Boomers that deny that there is a boomer II group but frankly I found the Boomers to be a rather seedy bunch.
