A majority of Generation Z voters believe that former President Donald Trump would shake up the country for the better if he returns to the White House following the November election, according to a new poll. This sentiment contrasts with the 35 percent who consider him a “danger to democracy”.
The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that among respondents between the ages of 18 and 24, 65 percent said they believe Trump would “shake up the country for the better,” while only 35 percent view him as a "danger to democracy". Across all age groups, 56 percent of respondents said he would positively shake up the country, while 44 percent said they believe he is dangerous.
This poll serves as a warning sign for Biden’s electoral chances among young voters.
In summary, Gen Z’s perception of Trump as a catalyst for positive change highlights the ongoing dynamics in American politics and the importance of engaging with younger voters in shaping the country’s future.
