Shocker! NBC Poll on Trump's Approval Rating With Millennials is Absolutely Brutal

by Aidan McLaughlin | 7:15 am, September 27th, 2017

The latest NBC polling on President Donald Trump’s approval rating amongst millennials is out — and, unsurprisingly, the president is not doing so hot.

Overall, Trump has a 64% disapproval and 21% approval amongst all millennials. He fares even worse with African Americans (79% disapproval, 13% approval), Asian Americans (78%-11%) and Latinos (77%-11%).

He does somewhat better amongst whites, with 53% disapproval and 30% approval.

The poll surveys adults age 18-34 in various demographics, and was previewed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday.

Chose not to even be bothered by the election. That's 8% lower than the already pathetic country as a whole.

If it was up to millenials Clinton would be President.

Millennial and Gen X voter turnout increased in 2016…and among millennials, black turnout decreased

Which makes me wonder how much voter suppression & machines conviently going down in urban centers. Also Republican efforts were designed to make registering as confusing as possible. I've seen the changes first hand in Arizona, you don't see stands registering people to vote anymore in places like libraries due to Republican rules on registrations.

It's entirely the fault of people who didn't vote for Trump, you see. And the young people. All the young people, including the ones who voted for HRC.

They have the lowest turnout of all the age groups. Overall, only 58% of Ameticans voted, which is humiliating enough.

Honestly, unless you're an actual, card-carrying Nazi, how can you possibly approve of this orange idiot?

We have always tried to talk to our kids about anything they want to discuss and stress the importance of empathy. They didn't have to choose our religion, we encouraged them to go to church with friends to explore other religions so they could make their own choices.

The viewers they might lose will be dead in 10 years, meanwhile the viewers they lose had they cracked down are basically their fan base for the next 40 years. It's pretty easy math.
