There's simply no way around the numbers.
Donald Trump's approval rating in his second term has completely collapsed.
But some groups matter more than others, and one group matters a whole lot.
That's young men.
Take a look at this stat.
In 2024, men under 30 prefer Donald Trump to Kamala Harris by about one percentage point.
But in recent polling this year, men under 30 have widely disapproved of Donald
Trump and his approval rating is under water by 55 points, a stunning decline.
Now, I wanted to dig in further with these numbers at an event that was specifically geared to target this group.
So I went to Washington, DC for Donald Trump's UFC event to talk to young men about the president.
Do we think he's still cool?
Have young men really turned on Donald Trump?
Let's dig in.
