Fifty-seven percent of Americans aged 18 to 30 consider Donald Trump to be an "illegitimate" president, according to a new poll. That includes about three-quarters of blacks and substantial minorities of Latinos and Asians.

The survey found that a slim majority of young whites, 53 percent, regard Trump as legitimate, although 55 percent of them disapprove of the job he's doing, according to a report on the survey by the Associated Press. The poll, called the GenForward poll, was conducted by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The poll involved 1,833 people aged 18-30 and was done between Feb. 16 and March 6, according to the Associated Press. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. It was funded in part by grants from the Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Ford Foundation.

Overall, the poll found that 22 percent of young adults approve of the job Trump is doing, while 62 percent disapprove.

As believable as all of the other polls from the same sources that said that Hillary would win in a landslide.

Trump is popular, and if the election were held today, he'd win by a bigger margin now that people see that he's actually doing what he promised to do, across the board.

Nobody but the bitter losers believes the endless stream of anti-Trump bilge. It's all fake news. There is no credibility in the anti-Trump media. Essentially take whatever the anti-Trumpist media says and flip it to its diametric opposite, and you will be closest to the truth.

They're trying to cast spells, to create a different reality through words. But words are wind, and they're failing.

Younger Americans don't consider Trump a legit president

Younger Americans are the third generation created by the brainwashing apparatus of the new left. We are now victims of progressive social and political dominence by three generations of brainwashed nut cases. They are a God damned curse upon this nation and the world.

I guess you could say some people don't know when they are well off.
