Since Donald Trump began his second term, his job ratings have dropped significantly, especially among young people. Despite an improved performance with voters under 30 in the 2024 election, many young Americans have changed their minds about Trump. His job approval rating among 18-29-year-olds has fallen from 55% to 28%, with a significant drop among independents and non-voters. Young men initially had higher approval ratings than young women, but both groups have seen declines. Reasons for the decline include perceptions that Trump is not fulfilling his campaign promises and dissatisfaction with economic conditions. The future electoral success of Republicans may hinge on Trump's approval ratings and youth turnout in the upcoming 2026 elections.
