HuffPost, The Independent and The Daily Beast report that CNN data analyst Harry Enten said on Thursday that Donald Trump’s support among young voters has fallen sharply over two years. Enten said Trump’s net approval among voters aged 18 to 24 dropped from 43 percent in 2024 to 15 percent this year. He also said House Democrats’ margin among young voters rose from 14 points in 2024 to 56 points in this year’s midterms. Host Kate Bolduan noted the shift had happened in two years rather than 20. Enten attributed the shift to Trump and said young voters ‘despise’ the president. The figures are Enten’s own, as reported on CNN’s News Central.
