Trump's Millennial Problem

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Plummets With Millennials​

The poll shows that Trump's declining popularity among millennials is being driven by worsening views on the economy and inflation.
"Millennials have yet to see the sweeping national renewal Trump promised," Thomas Gift, an associate professor of political science and director of the Centre on US Politics at University College London, told Newsweek.

On the economy, Trump's approval among millennials slipped from 36 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval in June to 38 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval in August, showing that approval and disapproval has edged up the same.

Inflation also appears to be a particular weak spot. Approval in this area dropped from 33 percent in June to 27 percent in August, while disapproval rose from 58 percent to 60 percent. The shift suggests heightened concern among younger voters about persistent price pressures.

That comes as inflation rose to 2.7 percent in June despite Trump's previous promise to end inflation on day one of his second term.

Millennials are not the largest single demographic in the United States.

Trump leads Biden among young people​

Young voters are part of Democrats’ natural base of support, but Biden is actually 11 percentage points behind Trump among young voters 18-34 in a head-to-head match in a CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released over the weekend.

How does your op help the Democratic Party change their ways? They are still the same party that forgot about the working class. We wouldn’t have Trump if it wasn’t from the Democratic party’s far left message.

If this continues, they probably won't have to. According to Real Clear Politics, they already lead the republicans in upcoming congressional elections. As Trump's approval falls, so does the likelihood of republicans holding Congress.

Right. Cutting back on Medicaid, stopping medical research, huge tax cuts for billionaires, unemployment rate rising, inflation up... oh wait... that's Trump's doing, isn't it?

As an independent the dems are far from convincing me. The issues of open borders, wokeness, soft on crime, socialism, communism, anarchism, ignoring the working class, etc. are deal breaking issue issues from me. They need to far away from the far left progressives.

Nearly 30% of independents agree with you:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has dipped to 37%, the lowest of this term and just slightly higher than his all-time worst rating of 34% at the end of his first term. Trump’s rating has fallen 10 percentage points among U.S. adults since he began his second term in January, including a 17-point decline among independents, to 29%, matching his lowest rating with that group in either of his terms.

Independents Drive Trump's Approval to 37% Second-Term Low

President Donald Trump's job approval rating has fallen to 37%, the lowest of his second term as a result of a decrease among independents.

But most of them don't. And that's the most striking change for Trump so far. It's not just Epstein; it's the economy, tariffs, inflation, etc.

The proof is in the pudding. Your party sucks so they either change or they will loose again.

My party always loses. I'm a registered libertarian. We've actually won some state races, but no one in Congress. The numbers look worse for the republican congressional people right now. And now that the democrats are about to respond to red-state Gerrymandering by responding in kind, it might be even worse for the GOP.

In California alone, Democrats could shift 6-7 seats. The biggest GOP state, Texas could at best swing 5 seats. If New York and Illinois join in, it could be pretty grim for republicans.

The proof will come in the 2026 elections. Until then……..
