'This is wild:' CNN analyst stunned by young voters' dramatic shift on Trump

A dramatic reversal among a crucial voting bloc is emerging as the defining story of the 2026 midterm landscape, according to new polling an

A dramatic reversal among a crucial voting bloc is emerging as the defining story of the 2026 midterm landscape, according to new polling analyzed by CNN's Harry Enten.

In the fall of 2024, voters under 50 gave Kamala Harris only a narrow three-point edge over Donald Trump, but today, the president's net approval rating among that same group has collapsed to negative 41 points in CNN's polling average — a swing of roughly 38 points against the president. By contrast, voters 50 and older have moved against Trump by less than half that amount, a shift of under 15 points.

"How big is this shift?" Enten said. "Yeah, I mean, we are talking about an absolutely huge shift, a 180 – young voters are fed up and they're taking their anger out on President Trump."

Perhaps starting a war and making moves to restart the draft wasn't a "good" move, politically speaking.

people who are like "but with universal healthcare you'll have to pay taxes!!! Up to 8%!!!" Are so funny. Like as opposed to the 16% of my gross paycheck that goes to private insurance, that won't cover shit unless i call my insurance company, then my doctor, then my pharmacy, then my doctor again because theyre pretty sure insurance got approved then my insurance company because they didn't get the letter, then my doctor again, then the pharmacy again, and then the copay i still am on the hook for.

O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.

Lads, I think the Confederate States weren’t punished enough.

[megalynnan]

Robert E Lee died of a stroke.

Jefferson Davis died of illness, surrounded by loved ones.

Both were charged with treason. And both cases were dropped.

No other major confederacy members were charged.

However, many abolitionists were charged and hung for treason by the confederacy.

I feel like had johnson not been the VP at the time, the south would have been held more accountable for their actions and it wouldnt have taken 100 years to pass the civil rights act.

@helenvaughans I assume this is true. Not helped at all by "Half a percent more property taxes? I say we vote down this raise for teachers."

[helenvaughans]

yup........................................................

[megalynnan]

In addition to all the unpaid labor of the teachers, parents volunteer to fill gaps too.

I did sight words with my child's class weekly last year.

This year after budget cuts, we need parents to chair school hosted events to make sure they continue. This is in addition to having parents volunteer as chaperones for events.

One time I went on a zombie themed bar crawl, and they did trivia at one of the stops.

Not only was i one of the few actually dressed as a zombie. I answered the first question, before they even finished asking it. (It was Robert Englund).

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'd say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn't the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I'm being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven't even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

yes that's how confirmation bias works

[within-stars]

People get their panties up in a twist about astrology because they think it’s people shoving themselves into boxes that are not pre-existing.

Most people who like astrology like it because it reflects things about themselves that they relate to that they have difficulty vocalizing themselves. And things like doing a chart reading can allow you to gaze deeply into yourself

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

yes that's how confirmation bias works

[megalynnan]

Most people that play the stock market like it because 1. They like gambling. 2. They fantasize about being wealthy. 3. They like feeling superior to other people who enjoy silly things. 4. They have no real joy in theor lives.

I don't blame anyone for not knowing this because it is very unintuitive but you must know that the employees at Home Depot, for the most part, do not know any more about home improvement than you. They were hired off the street, trained on how to operate the cash register and sell credit cards, and then sent out into the wild wild home improvement jungle. Now some of them do know things. It is essential that you understand that this is because 1) they are a bored retiree who used to do this for a living, 2) they are a hobbyist, or 3) they learned it from listening to the customers yap

That doesn't necessarily mean anything about their trustworthiness but like. If you need a surge protector to plug a large appliance into or something........ maybe do your own research

[megalynnan]

There was a point where Lowes hired "experts" however in the endless game of profits, they now favor lower wages, which means the employees arent necessarily experts.
