Despite the recent heightened risk of direct military conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden appears poised to end his term in office with a whimper rather than a bang. According to An Emerson College poll released Tuesday showed Biden's approval rating at 36%, the lowest level in four years. A similar decline was recorded in a Gallup poll. he It was 37%. A total of 52% of respondents told Emmerson they disapproved of Biden's performance.
Meanwhile, the former and future Republican president saw a significant increase in his favorability ratings after his landslide victory in the Nov. 5 election.
Emerson noted that President-elect Donald Trump's favorability rating has increased by 6 points since the beginning of this month and now stands at 54%. Where the mainstream polls go, that's a particularly big question given Gallup claims President Trump never reached 50% during his first term.
Among men, 61% in the Emerson survey said they viewed President Trump favorably, compared to 48% of women. By race, 59% of whites, 53% of Hispanics, and 28% of blacks said they viewed Trump favorably.
“Trump's favorability ratings vary widely by gender, race and age,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “President Trump's strongest age group is voters aged 40 to 59, with 60% viewing him favorably, compared to 48% of those over 70, especially among younger voters. President Trump's favorability rating is on the rise, with 55% of voters under 30 expressing a favorable opinion.
As Kimball pointed out, Trump appears to have made significant inroads with younger voters.
According to In a poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov between November 17 and 19, 57% of respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 said they had a favorable view of President Trump. newsweek highlighted This represents a net 19 point increase in President Trump's favorability ratings among his age group since the YouGov survey was conducted just a week ago.
“He's in playing condition.”
Among voters aged 30-44, 45-64, and 65 and older, President Trump's favorability rating was slightly lower at 49%, 51%, and 48%, respectively.
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, responded to the survey: Tweet“President Trump is surging with young voters. According to YouGov, President Trump has a +19 point favorability rating with voters aged 18-29. TikTok and X are a big reason why. Our campus video Viewed 3 billion times this semester.
“The energy is extraordinary,” Kirk said before the election. “The younger generation, Gen Z, has experienced a lot of – I would say – lies and deceit during the coronavirus pandemic, and a lot of their lives have been changed. ” he pointed out. “This is a pent-up 'rebellious energy' that never comes out,” Vanity Fair reported.
“Gen Z has the potential to influence this entire election,” Kirk added.
While it was clear that young men were gravitating toward Republican candidates and broader conservatism, young women surprised some observers on Election Day with an 11-point swing toward Trump.
NBC exit poll revealed Biden's 35-point lead over Trump among young women four years ago has narrowed to a 24-point lead over Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
John Della Volpe, director of public opinion research at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, recently emphasized that for young Americans, Trump is not a destructive force; instead, “he is a nation of play.”
“They see him through Barstool Sports, they see him through the UFC, they see him through golf. They see him through culture. They see him through music and things like that,” Volpe said. said “CNN Political Briefing”. “the [also] About the message that permeates throughout MAGA, which is, “He's strong, the opposition is weak, and he exudes this confidence that a lot of young people are clearly looking for.'' Three-quarters of young men, and women not far behind, regularly feel stressed about their future. And they haven't said anything that gives me hope. They see the world as scary and uncertain, and their vision of their future is blurred. So when someone says, “I'll take care of this,'' or “I'll make sure the economy is taken care of,'' there's clearly a resonance. ”
