The election of Donald Trump has marked a notable shift in Republican support from various demographics. Following his return to the presidency, he has garnered unprecedented backing from Black and Latino voters, with his highest vote shares among these groups in over 50 years. Notably, Trump's appeal has expanded significantly among younger voters aged 18 to 29, who have shifted from a 24-point deficit in 2020 to a favorable rating of 53%, with key electoral victories in swing states. This transformation illustrates a major change in public perception of the GOP, previously viewed as disconnected from diverse, working-class interests.
For context, in 2020 Joe Biden captured the 18-to-29 vote nationally by 24 points, topping Trump 60% to 36%. Today, Trump's favorable rating among this group is 53%.
According to CNN exit polls, Trump won a majority of voters aged 18 to 29 in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin, something none of the 'experts' predicted.
