Every time I see age brackets for the felon voters, I become more disenchanted with my generation. What is wrong with you GenX?

GenX is the most screwed over generation. All the crap trickling down from boomers our entire lives. Disillusionment reigns supreme. Not sure it’s support for Trump as much as exhaustion with the constant whining of millennials and gen Z.

I am solidly GenX and my antipathy to being governed and ruled and shaped by the babyboomers has been profound.

I think Gen X is angry that they could never achieve the success of Boomers. They vote for Trump as a “protest” to the system. (And I am Gen X and have never voted for Trump).

I’m young Gen X and it seems everyone in my cohort has significantly improved our living standards over our Boomer relatives. Not sure where you are getting this from. But yes to the protest Trump votes.

The latest Reuters poll didn't identify a single issue on which more voters approve of President Trump's stewardship than disapprove of it.

YouGov polling shows Trump's approval on the economy continuing to plunge — and his handling of immigration turning negative very sharply

a 58 page document of metrics that look horrible for Trump and the best you can do is suggest 48% as a positive approval?

I don’t think approval polls mean much right now. I know it’s hard to believe, but we are fewer than 100 days into trump’s presidency, and the common refrain among his voters is “let’s give him a chance” and “at least he’s doing something”. I think it’s a normal reaction, even as they are losing their jobs and paying more at the grocery store. They have hope that his policies will make their lives better in the long run, even though every reputable economist disagrees vehemently. The fact that non Trump voters are salivating at the prospect of Trumpies regretting their vote is making them hold even more steadfast. Rather than ask about approval of Trump, the polls should ask about opinions of the general state of civil rights, security of the defense department, relations with Russia vs Ukraine, etc, to see what voters are actually thinking.

I think by the end of the summer, we could see the needle move if the economy continues to sputter. Farm bailouts and backtracks on tariffs will mitigate unhappiness with Trump, although the impending farm bailout might anger small business owners who were left out to dry.

Pollsters are asking those question and the results have been published in this forum, two in fact just today. Bottom line, there isn't an issue where Trump is representing the majority of the public opinion. We are literally living in a tyranny of the minority.

Washington Post just reported that 56% support his immigration policies.

Dig deeper, they agree (as do most dems) that immigration is an issue, but there isn't a majority who support ignoring the US Constitution to do it.

56% want all 11 million illegal immigrants gone. Not sure how much deeper you need. They agreed with Trump full stop.

"Enten said a majority of Americans have gotten “much closer” to President Donald Trump, noting that 56% of registered voters in 2025 favored a government effort to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, per a poll by The Washington Post."

New YouGov/Economist poll out this morning finds Trump is no longer popular on immigration. This was the last issue he had a positive net approval on.

This was very easy to see coming, especially because individual components of immigration policy are so toxic
