New Wall Street Journal polling released September 30, 2026 shows Gen Z voters turning sharply away from Trump and the Republican Party, with Democrats leading by 20 points among the group and Trump's job approval at 23 percent approve against 73 percent disapprove. An NPR/PBS/Marist poll now puts Trump's approval among young voters at 27 percent, with 70 percent disapproving and 62 percent strongly disapproving. The discussion covers why young men are hard for Republicans to turn out in midterms, the Yale Youth Poll finding that Gen Z ties to issues rather than parties, and Turning Point USA's campus membership surge after Charlie Kirk's murder.
