Why young voters are moving away from Trump

Young voters are shifting away from Trump more than other major blocs, continuing a trend from 2024 where the Republican candidate narrowed Democrats’ long-running edge among those under 30.

Analysts say issues such as climate policy, social issues, and younger voters’ priorities have contributed to waning support for Trump within this demographic, despite his appeal on other fronts.

Campaigns are adjusting outreach efforts to engagement and policy stances that resonate with younger audiences, aiming to reverse the erosion in this key voting group.
