A poll shows the president's net favorable rating among those aged 18-29 has fallen dramatically in the past three months.

Summary

Donald Trump’s popularity among Generation Z voters has sharply declined since the 2024 election, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll.

His net favorability among 18-29-year-olds has dropped from +19 in November to -18, raising concerns for Republicans about sustaining youth support.

While Trump gained ground with young voters in 2024, recent policies—such as his mass deportation plan and targeting of DEI initiatives—may have contributed to this decline.

    I don’t trust polls anymore. Trump wasn’t supposed to win '16 and it wasn’t supposed to be a blowout '24 according to polls.

      Hillary had an 80% chance of winning according to polls. That’s a lot, but Trump still had a 20% chance. That doesn’t really detract from the polls as much as from the reporting on said polls.
