Youth Voter Shift Threatens President Trump's Approval Ratings
CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten has highlighted a significant decline in President Donald Trump's approval ratings among younger voters, particularly those under 50. Enten's analysis reveals a dramatic shift in support since the 2024 election, with younger voters increasingly disapproving of Trump. During the 2024 campaign, Trump trailed Vice President Kamala Harris by only three points among this demographic, but current polling shows a negative 41-point net approval rating. Enten attributes this shift to younger voters' dissatisfaction with Trump's policies and leadership. The trend is expected to have major implications for the upcoming midterm elections, as Democrats gain a substantial advantage among voters under 50. Enten notes that Democrats now hold a 17-point lead in House preference polling among this group, compared to a four-point edge in 2024.
