Trump Approval Rating Has Fallen Even Further Among Millennials As Young People Continue To Snub PresidentBY RYAN SIT ON 1/29/18 AT 9:34 AM
Most millennials disapprove of Congress and President Donald Trump's job performance and think the country is heading in the wrong direction, a new poll found.
Sixty-three percent of millennials, aged 18 to 34, said they disapprove of Trump, with 46 percent of respondents saying they strongly disapprove, according to an NBC/GenForward poll, published Monday.
Just 19 percent of young people gave Trump a positive approval rating, down from 22 percent in the same poll at the start of January.

(89,288 posts)If you only look at those in 30s it will be higher than those in 20s.
One difference is the younger generations will keep getting more diverse. And the republicans aren't doing anything to get an enough share of those voters to replace the older ones when they pass away. Unless you count voter supression and cheating.

On that point, we're sure to agree.
