Boomers disapprove of Trump more than any other demographic—most of whom approve: RCP poll

It turns out that the Baby Boomers are the ones who hate Trump the most. A new poll out from Real Clear shows that it's the "oldest voters" who "strongly disapprove of Trump. When asked "do you approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president," those of the president's own age group issued a resounded "no."

The youngest cohort, aged 18 to 29, approved of Trump by 2 points. The 30-39-year-old set approved of Trump with 9 points. The next batch of middle-aged Americans, aged 40-49, cranked out a tie. Those 50-59 thought well of Trump by 3 point, and the 60-69-year-olds went for Trump with a 5 point spread.

But for those Americans over 70, their disapproved of Trump's performance as president had a 14 point spread. President Donald Trump is 78-years-old, so those who hate him the most are those who also count themselves among his peers. The poll was conducted from April 10-12 among 1,000 registered voters. 

The younger generations have been veering conservative, with the current demographic the most conservative generation in 50 years. Studies have shown that those aged 18 to 24 are leaning conservative far more than generations ahead of them. While that's the case for both men and women in that group, young men are overwhelmingly conservative. 

March polling showed that Trump's approval rating among his own generation was taking a downward turn, despite that group having been integral to gaining Trump the White House in the recent November election. 

In part, this changing view is due to fears over social benefits, such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Democrat lawmakers have consistently beat the drums of deprivation, saying that Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency would be reducing payments and programs. Trump has banned illegal immigrants from received social security benefits but has vowed not to cut payments for Americans.

This is the same demographic that is reportedly less willing to share wealth with their children. Boomers have retained their ethos to "find themselves" and "follow their bliss" while their children, the Gen Xers and Millennials, are far more interested in sharing the wealth with their offspring.

Still others have concerns about economic tumult as Trump has upset the status quo by pushing economic policies to benefit Main Street as opposed to Wall Street. The Dow Jones has been a bit of a roller coaster amid tariffs and changes and Boomers who voted for change have been spooked by that change once enacted. That survey was conducted from March 16-18 of 400 people over the age of 65.
