Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Crashes To New Record Low With Millennials
Adults aged 30 to 44 harden against the president as the political calendar tilts toward the midterms, a tracker poll finds.
President Donald Trump has hit a new record low in his approval rating among millennials, according to a recent Economist/YouGov poll. The survey, conducted from August 28 to 31, 2026, found that Trump's approval rating among adults aged 30 to 44 dropped to negative 43 points, the lowest it has ever been in the series dating back to January 2025.
This stands in stark contrast to his overall approval rating of negative 24, indicating a significant generational divide. The poll surveyed 1,592 U.S. adult citizens, with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Trump's approval among this age group has plummeted from negative 12 in March 2025 to its current level, representing an eight-point drop from July.
The president's overall net approval has also declined sharply, from positive 6 in January 2025 to negative 24 in the latest survey, a 30-point decrease. The White House has dismissed the significance of these figures, pointing to the 2024 presidential election as the definitive measure of public opinion.
