Chuck Schumer coping with a huge new poll bombshellby Frank Holmes, reporter

Everyone knows that young people hate President Donald Trump—everyone except young people. A new poll shows that President Trump has become so popular that his coattails have pulled the entire Republican Party into “historically good” polling numbers with the youngest voters.

It’s big trouble for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s hope of ever returning to power.

Put another way, the Democratic Party blew a 26-point lead with Gen Z, according to the the Pew Research Center’s National Public Opinion Reference Survey, which came out last Wednesday.

“The Democratic Party long held a sizable edge among people born in the 1990s (currently ages 26 to 35), but that edge is largely gone today,” Pew explained.

That’s putting it mildly.

In 2021, young people preferred the Democratic Party to the GOP by an incredible, 32-point margin: 63 percent to 31.

This year, the gap fell to just to six points—a 26 point shift.

And in 2024, Republicans actually led among young voters by one point.

“These are historically good numbers for the GOP, which had traditionally been the smaller party for generations,” wrote Chris Stirewalt, pollster and political expert from the center-right think tank AEI, at The Hill.

“The overall trend of this decade is unmistakable: America has been getting more Republican,” said Stirewalt.

Nobody in the legacy media saw coming, but those who read polls carefully—and young people themselves—never had any doubt.

“We are seeing a pendulum shift to the Right that we haven’t seen in almost a century,” 19-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand, the co-chair of the Republican Party’s Youth Advisory Council, told Fox Business The Bottom Line this week.

Hollyhand told President Trump that young people love the president because, once in office, he’s kept on “doing what you told the voters what you would do.”

“That right there is how you keep Gen Z, not only in ‘26 but in ‘28,” the teenage Republican told the Baby Boomer president.

The political maturation of the U.S. youth vote has been going on for years and has picked up steam with President Trump’s return to politics.

In April, conservative talk show host and college campus speaker Charlie Kirk pointed to a study conducted by Yale University, finding that young people aged 18 to 21 lean Republican by 12 percentage points.

That poll “confirms the trend we’ve seen at one campus after another: The youngest voters have turned sharply to the right,” said Kirk. “The most dramatic generational political swing in history is unfolding before our eyes.”

It’s tempting for people to attribute young Americans’ turn toward conservatism to the popularity of President Donald Trump—especially by President Trump himself. But polling data from around the world show the exact same political earthquake has struck the youth of Europe and Canada—even in Israel, as well.

Since getting blindsided with the latest poll, the Fake News media tried hard to deny reality, telling anyone who still listens that young people still love the liberal elites.

“Six months in, young people have soured on Trump’s job handling,” claimed the Hate-Trump network’s “CBS News analysis.”

“Trump Has Given Back All Gains He Made With Gen Z in Six Months,” insisted a story in Newsweek.

“Young Men May Not Be as Conservative as You Think,” declared that definitive voice of young male culture, Ms. Magazine.

The media also hammered away at the Epstein files—trying to drive a wedge into the MAGA coalition. But when the hot air cleared, the 47th president emerged with a “historically good” approval rating with his own party.

Don’t take The Horn’s word for it: Listen to CNN.

“When it comes to his approval rating with Republicans, it’s basically as solid as it ever was,” CNN poll analyst Harry Enten told talking head hostess Abby Phillips on a recent episode of her low-rated show. “Because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files, you might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans. If anything, they’re going up.”

A Quinnipiac poll shows President Trump’s approval rating among Republicans soared to 90 percent, up from a mere 87 percent in the last survey.

Professional Democratic strategist James Carville has seen all the polls—and he says, this is fine. This is all fine.

“I am not remotely worried about that,” Carville told the Fox News show The Story on Monday. “Not remotely.”

“There’s a ton of Democratic political talent waiting in the wings for 2028,” Carville said—although he could only name one candidate: Virginia Spanberger, who’s running  for (but has not yet been elected as) governor of Virginia this fall.

Luckily for Carville and his clients in the DNC, not all Gen Z is conservative—not by a long shot.

“By 2021, 44 percent of young women identified as liberal, compared with just 25 percent of young men—the largest gender gap in political affiliation recorded in 24 years of polling,” reported Robert Henderson of City Journal.

Young liberal women have something else in common, besides their politics: Most of them also told pollsters that they are mentally ill.

Among young Democratic women who describe themselves as liberal, mental illness has taken hold of a healthy majority (numerically speaking). A full 56 percent of liberal women between the ages of 18 and 29 say a medical professional has diagnosed them with one or more mental disorders, according to the 2020 Pew American Trends Panel study. That’s more than twice the rate of conservative women in the same age range (just 24 percent).

Then again, if you believed America was led by a fascist dictator controlled by Vladimir Putin who only plans to pass laws codifying “systemic racism, sexism, and transphobia” until catastrophic climate change destroys the planet, it could drive you crazy, too.

That’s good news for Carville and his party. The good news for America is, there are not enough Prozac poppers, mental patients, and liberal loons to put a Democrat like Kamala Harris back into the White House in 2028—no matter how the legacy media lie.
