Why Republicans could lose the presidency for decades

Donald Trump is collapsing among young voters. It could be a long-term problem for Republicans. Major pollsters are now finding President Trump’s approval rating to be at or near its worst point ever. The shift is overwhelmingly driven by young voters, who have soured on the president in historic numbers. That’s all the more notable given Trump’s inroads among young people were one of the main storylines of the 2024 election — no other age group moved as much away from Democrats. Now, those results look more and more like a fluke, and the president could be driving the electorate’s youngest members into Democrats’ arms — permanently. What could be going on?
