Donald Trump's Approval Rating Nosedives To New Low With Young Voters

Donald Trump's net approval rating among young voters aged 18 to 34 has plummeted to a record low of minus 44 according to Echelon Insights polling. This marks a significant decline from a net approval of minus 30 in July and a net positive 7 in January 2025. While Trump's overall approval improved slightly from minus 23 to minus 19, the gap between young voters and the general electorate widened. In the August survey, 28% of young voters approved of Trump compared to 72% who disapproved, whereas his national approval stood at 40% with 59% disapproval. This shift raises concerns for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms, as younger voters were crucial to Trump's 2024 victory. CIRCLE's analysis indicates that young voters narrowly supported Kamala Harris over Trump in 2024, contrasting with their strong support for Joe Biden in 2020.
