Donald Trump's COVID-19 clown show is turning young voters against him.
29% of young voters say that their lives are worse under Trump compared to 15% who say they are better.
It is even worse for Trump and the GOP because pissed off voters are more likely to vote than are those satisfied with Trump.
GOP lawmakers will be savaged for their performance in being Trump sycophants and being invisible to the voters.
The portents are good for the expungement of Trump and a swag of GOP lawmakers.

President Trump receives very low marks from young Americans and appears to be a key factor motivating them to vote this year, according to a new survey from Harvard's Institute of Politics.
More than a quarter of the country's 18- to 29-year-olds say that their lives are worse because of President Trump, according to a new poll, the latest to show the motivating impact the president could have on the youngest subset of voters this election year.
The poll, by Harvard's Institute of Politics, found that 29% of that cohort say their lives are worse under President Trump's leadership, 39% say their lives are no different and 15% say their lives are better.
"People vote when it's personal, when they can see a difference in their lives," said John Della Volpe, polling director at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. "I looked at dozens of subgroups, and when I look at the number of people who say 'better' and the number of people who say 'worse,' in every single case — other than among Republicans — people say that he's made their life worse, and that's a big deal."
The poll also found that young Americans, mobilized in part by strong disapproval of President Trump, are slightly more likely to vote in November's general election than they were ahead of the 2016 general election. According to the survey, 54% of voters under 30 said they will definitely vote this year: 69% of Democrats, 64% of Republicans and 31% of independents.
