Are You Surprised That This Group Still Loves Donald Trump?

In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump saw his popularity soar with youth voters compared to former Vice President Kamala Harris. Youth voters, or those between ages eighteen and twenty-nine, make up a small subset of Trump’s fans. Yet Trump received almost 50% of the vote from this age group during the election. Many critics question whether this was because young voters wanted to shy away from the policies of former President Joe Biden, if they were voting to “own the libs,” or if young voters felt more connected with the white, male-oriented perspective of Trump and his team. However, reports The Independent, Trump’s favor has significantly fallen in this age group since he came into office. While this could feasibly because of rollbacks to DEI initiatives or humanitarian aid, it seems that younger Americans are turned off by the idea that Trump is giving so much power — and seemingly unchecked — to Elon Musk and DOGE. (I don’t agree with Elon Musk on everything, but he’s spot-on when it comes to this.)

But while Trump has experienced stronger disapproval levels from some groups, others are thrilled at how Trump is handling the presidency. Using survey data from Morning Consult, 24/7 Wall St. identified the Americans who are most likely to approve of Trump’s job as president so far. We reviewed polling results among multiple demographic groups and subgroups — including gender, race, religion, educational attainment, employment status and sector, income, age, voting history, and political ideology and affiliation, among others — and ranked them on Trump’s net approval rating, or the share of voters who approve of his presidency less those who disapprove. All survey data was collected between January 31 and February 3, 2025. Only demographic groups with which Trump’s net-approval rating exceeded five percentage points were included on this list. Among these 23 subsets of Americans, Trump’s net-approval rating ranges from 5.6% to over 90%. Unsurprisingly, the strongest predictors of public opinion towards the sitting president are political.

The Need to Discuss Donald Trump

In his first few weeks in office, Donald Trump has done more to reshape the federal government than any president in recent history. Many Americans deeply disagree with Trump’s policies or are concerned about the rapid pace of change happening both in Washington, D.C. and across the country — and quite a few groups feel that several policies being implemented directly attack the Constitution as it stands now. However, Americans in certain demographic groups are more likely to have a positive view of Trump’s second term so far and believe that Trump is simply upholding the promises he made during the campaign.
