Young Voters Hate Trump
April 13, 2026 at 7:10 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Yale Youth Poll finds 57% of all voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance as president, including 68% of voters aged 18-22 and 72% of voters aged 23-29.

Compared to the fall 2025 poll, Trump has lost the most ground with women under 35 and men under 30.

1. I'm an old guy and I can't stand him either, never could...he's a know nothing jerk...

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. This old guy 100% agrees with you.

A big part of the youngsters turning against him is because they don't want any part of his "excursions" IE: wars, which they would be fighting, and the suck ass economy that Trumpedo has hoisted on the American and worlds peoples.

[Bo Zarts]

17. Old guy here too. 100% agreement!

[Scrivener7]

2. Glad to see that "men under 30" tranch turning around.

[LuvLoogie]

4. The bros are getting lonely, probably.

Joe Rogan will endorse Tucker Carlson and they'll be right back in with patriarchal white supremacy.

11. What is the deal with republiSCUM and entertainment figures?

They have proven to be absolutely AWFUL in the role of POTUS (see: reagan and trump)

[LisaL]

6. They'd be the ones fighting in his wars.

If only they figured that out before they voted for him.

[Ray Bruns]

12. Probably realizing that they are of draft age.

3. Oh, look, they finally got a clue.

The men especially.

[LisaL]

5. Exactly.

Why exactly wasn't it obvious before the election? FAFO.

[Ray Bruns]

13. Probably realizing that they are of draft age.

7. But will they actually vote

Or throw their hands in the air and say both parties suck.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. My concern, exactly.

“Both sides ….”

[Wounded Bear]

9. That's what prevents the US from having Hungary-like elections here...

Too often what matters in elections in the US is who stays home instead of who gets out to vote. Subtle difference, maybe, but think about it.

Dems, and progressives in general tend to get complacent when things have gotten done, like the malaise after passing Obamacare. You'd think they would be out voting in celebrity mode, but instead people stayed home because the effects didn't kick in fast enough or something. Meanwhile, the right is fighting tooth and nail to rescind any improvements before they get too set in. Hell, they're still trying to kill Social Security, probably the most successful government program the US has ever ran, and frankly it could be vastly improved upon if there was a will to do it.

Historically, when turnout is high it has been good for Dems, which is why Repub strategists main plan is to make voting harder to do.

Since Reagan, the country has been desperately needing a strong shift to the left.

10. 🎯

[multigraincracker]

15. If those aren't registered to vote,

They might as well insist.
I’m afraid they aren’t going to listen to this Boomer.

[Fil1957]

16. Of course they hate him. He's pissing their future away right in front of their eyes in real time.

[Rebl2]

18. Thank

goodness and now vote in your elections if you are old enough.
