By generation, Biden has the highest disapproval rating from Generation X (62%), compared with the Silent/Greatest Generation (48%), baby boomers (48%) and Generation Z/millennials (50%). Biden also has the highest “strongly disapprove” rating from Gen X (52%), compared with the Silent/Greatest Generation (41%), boomers (39%) and Gen Z/millennials (35%).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For Gen X, that is largely defined by an unpopular Carter and a popular Republican president, Ronald Reagan.
“Ronald Reagan made me feel good about being a U.S. citizen, being American,” said Ken Piccolo, 56, a substitute teacher from San Jose, California.
But as of now, he says his Biden vote is driven by a disgust at the influence that former President Donald Trump has had over the Republican Party.
Walters added that Trump’s “Make America Great Again” messaging appeals to older voters, particularly boomers but also their Gen X children.
Culture wars are nothing new for Gen Xers — the generation that coined the term “political correctness” — but the current debate over when and how to police speech is particularly unpopular with them.
On the other hand, Gen X Democrats like Piccolo point their disgust at conservative efforts to curb speech, particularly in schools and libraries.
