CNN Data Guru Reveals Trump’s Stunning Loss of Key Demographic
YUGE
One generation in particular represented Trump’s biggest gains in 2024 and his biggest loss in approval since the start of his second term.

Donald Trump is hemorrhaging support from a key demographic that helped power his 2024 comeback, according to CNN’s chief data analyst.

Among 18-to-29-year-olds, Trump’s net approval rating has fallen an unprecedented 56 points in less than a year, from +10 in February to -46 now, Harry Enten told Erin Burnett Thursday on OutFront, citing a CBS News/YouGov poll.

“This type of drop happening so quickly—you just don’t see drops like that. It’s stunning!” he said. “I think the word of the day, to borrow a phrase from the current president—yuge, yuge.”
