Poll: Majority of young people believe Trump is racist, dishonest and "mentally unfit" to be president

NEW YORK — A majority of young people believe President Donald Trump is racist, dishonest and “mentally unfit” for office, according to a new survey that finds the nation’s youngest potential voters are more concerned about the Republican’s performance in the White House than older Americans.

The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV found that just 33 percent of Americans between the ages of 15 and 34 approve of Trump’s job performance.

That’s 9 points lower than all adults, who were asked the same question on a separate AP-NORC survey taken this month.

“Trump doesn’t care about us,” said 27-year-old Nicole Martin, an African-American graduate student in Missoula, Montana. “I’m not going to say he’s unfit like he has schizophrenia. I do kind of think he’s twisted in the head. He just comes off as disgusting to me.”

Although given his base, one can't blame him for trying.

This is a survey of 15-34 year old, automatically the ones that were 15-19 or 20 wouldn't have voted, having been under 18 at the time.

kicking themselves everyday for not going to the polls and defeating Shitler.

If they don't show up again at the polls in the fall this country is pretty much dead.
