A new approval poll has revealed what a certain generation think of President Donald Trump six months into his second term in the White House.
Trump's time in power so far has certainly been controversial as the world is still coming to terms with the aftermath of US' missile strike on nuclear bases in Iran and the violent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
The president has also introduced his 'Big Beautiful Bill', leading to his very public bust-up with former 'First Buddy' Elon Musk - which doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down, given the fact Trump has threatened to deport him.
On top of that, comments Trump made about deporting US citizens after opening an immigration centre dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' in Florida earlier this week has left many people stunned.

The latest wave of approval polls continue to reveal what Americans really think of Trump, and a new poll has revealed his approval rating amongst Generation Z has dropped to an all-time low.
A YouGov/Yahoo poll, which was conducted between June 26-30 and featured 1,597 adults, concluded a massive drop in support for Trump amongst Gen Z voters.
Generation Z - also known as Zoomers - consists of individuals born between 1997 and 2012.
Trump had an already poor -23 points rating from the generation in May, but that has since dropped to -41 points from the new poll conducted in June.
While Trump has long had the support of the older generation, the president saw his Gen Z vote surprisingly improve in the 2024 election.
AP VoteCast states that those aged 18 to 29 supported Kamala Harris over Trump by just 51 percent to 47 percent for the presidential election.
So, the recent polls will certainly be a cause for concern for Trump even if he may not admit it himself.
According to a different ActiVote poll, Trump's approval rating has dropped to its lowest level of his second term.
523 adults were quizzed between June 1 and 30, and it was found Trump's national approval rating stood at 45 percent, while 52 percent disapproved of the Republican president.
That puts the president at a net approval of -7, which marks the worst net approval rating of his second term in office so far as the numbers seemingly continue to slip.
Despite many clearly being unimpressed with how Trump is handling things in the Oval Office, the president's current approval rating still outperforms his own average during his first term, which was 41 percent at its lowest.
