57. Of all the age groups

Gen Z actually has the most legitimate complaint about the economy because their concerns are generational and not transient. If a voter decides to vote based on the price of eggs, it is shortsighted and often shallow.

But these young people are facing generational challenges that do not have an easy fix. Coupling the price of education, the burden of debt, the slow growth in earning potential and compare that to cost of homes, cars, insurance etc. It has become a bad deal for most of them.

You and I both know that Trump will hurt them more than help. But desperate people are vulnerable to the promises of populism. When people are frustrated, the grass always looks greener in the opposition party. And a certain nihilistic mindset can creep in leading to the burn it all down crowd. And the conservative new media has established a better beachhead in this market than we have.

At this point, they just have to experience the next few years and see if they change their minds.
