President Donald Trump is reportedly losing support among Gen Z voters, according to a new YouGov/Economist poll released this week.

The survey, which was conducted between October 17 and October 20, stated that Trump's approval rating among Gen Z voters dropped to 25%, while 67% of Gen Z respondents disapproved his job performance, for a -42% net approval rating among the group. The president was previously reported to have a -34% net approval rating (30% approval and 64% disapproval) among Gen Z voters in September and a -37% net approval rating (30% approval and 67% disapproval) in August.

Trump saw a surprising growth in support among younger voters during the 2024 presidential election with former Vice President Kamala Harris only having a 51% to 47% edge in voters ages 18 to 29, after former President Joe Biden had a 61% to 36% advantage over him in the 2020 election. The president had previously revealed that his teenage son, Barron, was influential in him doing interviews on podcasts targeting a younger male demographic, which included appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Flagrant with comedian Andrew Schulz, Logan Paul's Impaulsive and Barstool Sports' Bussin' with the Boys.

Trump's approval rating was reported to have shown slight improvement in the latest Reuters poll published on Tuesday (October 21). Trump was reported to have a 42% approval rating, which was 2% higher than earlier in the month, during the six-day poll reported to have a two-point margin of error.

The president's approval rating has consistently been between 40% and 44% since early April, according to the outlet. The increase managed to coincide with a majority 50% of respondents blaming congressional Republicans for the government shutdown, while 43% blamed congressional Democrats.

The current U.S. government shutdown entered its 22nd day on Wednesday (October 22), making it the third-longest in American history.

Last week, Trump was reported to have a -13 net approval rating for his handling of the U.S. economy, which was the lowest of any point during his two separate terms in office, according to the CNBC All-America Economic Survey. The president's approval rating on the economy is reported to be at 42%, while 55% of respondents disapprove, while the survey also reported his overall approval rating dropped from 46% to 44%, with a net approval of -8%.
