New York Times/Siena College polls found Donald Trump’s approval among young men has dropped about 10 percentage points in recent months, a sharp reversal for a group that helped power his 2024 win.
Young male voters interviewed cited stubborn living costs, disappointment that promised economic relief has not arrived, and frustration with Trump’s tariff policy.
Some also said immigration raids and other second-term actions left them regretting their 2024 vote, widening the break beyond purely economic concerns.
That shift matters because young men swung 15% to the right from 2020 to 2024, and Democrats now see an opening to win back a bloc that had moved decisively toward Trump.
