Trump’s approval rating changes course among millennials and Gen Z

Description

Lucas Walsh, a youth political behavior expert and a professor at Monash University in Australia, told Newsweek: ‘Declining support among younger voters—many of whom backed Trump in 2024—may be because many respond to issues rather than party allegiances. Economic hardship and uncertainty typically affect younger people disproportionately compared to older voters during economic downturns. These younger voters often care less about red and blue party lines and more about issues, particularly progressive ones, and issues affecting the bottom line of their day-to-day lives’.
