Trump's approval rating plummets among young voters

In August 2026, a poll showed President Donald Trump's approval rating among voters aged 18 to 34 fell to minus 44, the lowest in Echelon Insights polling. Only 28% of this demographic approved of his performance, while 72% disapproved. This decline is notable as Trump's previous support among young voters was crucial for his 2024 election success. Overall, Trump's approval rating improved slightly among the general electorate, but the gap between young voters and the overall approval rating has widened significantly.
