Economic concerns and growing disenchantment with both parties is draining support for Trump among Gen Z young men, a key bloc of support during the 2024 election

Male Gen Z voters are breaking with Donald Trump and the Republican party at large, recent polls show, less than a year after this same cohort defied convention and made a surprise shift right, helping Trump win the 2024 election.

Taken with wider polling suggesting Democrats will lead in the midterms, the findings on young men spell serious trouble for the Republican Party in 2026.

Younger Gen Z men, those born between 2002 and 2007, may be even more anti-Trump, according to October research from YouGov and the Young Men’s Research Project, a potential sign that their time living through the social upheavals of the Covid pandemic and not being political aware during the first Trump administration may be shaping their experience.

    2020 Biden was doing poorly until SC, got his only good performance, and then like a day before super Tuesday everyone except Biden and Bernie dropped, they all started campaigning for Biden.

    Warren didnt drop out also.

      Yeah, but she wasn’t running a campaign, Roger Lau was trying to use her to crash out on Bernie to take them both out.
