Like Reagan, Trump and The Economy Are Winning Over Millennials

The latest Zogby poll shows that a majority of Millennials now approve of President Donald Trump’s job performance. That is a stark change from recent years—and just like Reagan in the 1980s, the rising economy is changing their mind.

It has been 32 years since Ronald Reagan was president. Much has changed since then. The Federal budget was a quaint $590 billion when he started (about $1.5 trillion in today’s dollars) and will be $4.75 trillion in 2020.

The Soviet Union is gone and the European Union has been on the world stage since 1993. At home, social issues have taken center stage and the ideological dividing lines between us have hardened in this Divided Era. Voting patterns are not quite the same either.

According to polling, Millenials and Generation Z (the demographic younger than Millennials), are more liberal than older Americans. Pew Research’s January 2019 polling indicates that “members of Generation Z (the generation after Millennials) hold many similar views to Millennials, and both tend to be more liberal than older generations.”

A good deal of that relates to social views. For instance, 59 percent of Generation Z believe that “forms or online profiles that ask about a person’s gender should include options other than ‘man’ or ‘woman,’” while less than 40 percent of Baby Boomers hold that view. Half of Millennials support the Generation Z view as well.

We’ve never had a majority of true Republicans.

In ‘94 we elected a soup of Publicans and Wee Publicans, who chose wee publican Noot as speaker of the Mouse.
