Proof that even Gen-Z isn't immune to the fox news variant of the stupid virus: tRump's approval rating has rebounded

with Gen Z voters, according to a YouGov/Economist poll.

tRump's approval rating among the youngest voters remains underwater, but the latest YouGov/Economist poll, conducted between August 9-11, shows Trump's net approval rating at -28 (33 percent approve, 61 percent disapprove), a 10-point jump from last month when it was -38 (18 percent approved and 66 percent disapproved).

I've already noticed this in media posts and it looks like Gen-Z influencers are taking money from Moscow like Rogan does and pushing reconstituted tRump propaganda in a more Gen-Z positive way, AKA lying through their teeth.

It’s a snapshot- would like to see the sample breakdown by region and education compared to previous poll.

Reminder- Gen Z is notoriously difficult to survey due to non-responses

and the youngest Millennials (18 to 29yo)

I suggest younger Boomers and Gen X get their own houses in order before throwing shade at Gen Z.

What is true is Trump is doing very badly in both polls. It is entirely possible that he never was as low as 18 and may now be lower than 33, which it needs to be said is very low for a presidential approval.

Not to mention, disapproval went from 61 to 65. In the last poll many more were undecided.
