After weeks of some slippage, President Donald Trump’s approval rating among millennials reversed course sharply this week, according to a new poll released Tuesday by The Economist and YouGov.
Newsweek notes that throughout his political career, Trump has consistently highlighted favorable approval ratings and poll results at press conferences and campaign events. However, slipping poll numbers could weaken his influence in an already deeply polarized environment and potentially damage Republican prospects in the 2026 midterm elections.
When Trump returned to the White House in January, his approval ratings were strong. His approval slipped somewhat in some polls, however, amid growing economic and political concerns, including backlash against his tariff policies.
