How is Gen Z Reacting to Trump?

Wake Up to Politics

I also mentioned this poll result from More in Common, which I find so striking that I think it’s worth sharing in full: Almost 90% of Baby Boomers — cutting across party lines — believe that President Trump should “always follow the Constitution, even if means he sometimes can’t get things done.” That number drops down to 53% among Gen Z, the slimmest ofmajorities on what older generations see as the most obvious of questions. 31% of Gen Z (and 42% of Gen Z men, the group told me) believe Trump “should get things done, even if it means sometimes ignoring the Constitution.” That is higher than any other demographic group, whether you’re looking at race, income, gender, party, or level of education
