Trump’s at 43% and Gen Z is already filing for divorce

43% approve. A full year into Trump Term Two. That’s not a mandate — that’s a Yelp rating right before the health department shows up.

Decision Desk HQ has him at 43% approve, 54% disapprove, which in political terms is “the vibes are rancid” and in real-life terms is “you’re about to start blaming the interns.”

The fun part: the young voters who helped drag him over the finish line in 2024 are now peeling away like they just noticed the terms and conditions were written in blood. The campaign sold them strength, chaos, memes, and “owning the libs.” Cool. Now they’re getting the actual part where government policy touches your life and it’s less TikTok edit, more dental surgery.

Because politicians don’t react to morality. They react to incentives. And when youth support drops, the White House doesn’t go “how can we help young people.” It goes “how do we replace them with people who still answer unknown numbers.”

Meanwhile, everyone who actually runs stuff — Congress, donors, lobbyists, cable hosts with divorce-stress eyes — will treat this like a stock chart. If it dips, they’ll demand “course correction.”
