Trump previously won men under 30 by a narrow margin, but that support has weakened substantially. Polling averages show Trump is now about 55 percentage points behind among men under 30. The shift is described as a major change from the young male demographic that helped drive his earlier election success. The loss is framed as surprising because Republicans typically do not carry a majority of young voters. A possible explanation offered is that Trump may try to attract young men again through a high-profile event, such as hosting a UFC fight at the White House.
"Enten pointed out that Trump won men under 30 by one percentage point. While that's not a big margin, it was still surprising in 2024 to see a Republican candidate carry a majority of any young demographic. Well, whatever drew young men to Trump in 2024 is no longer having much effect, and Enten noted that perhaps Trump is hosting a UFC fight at the White House in hopes of bringing young men back into the fold."
"Enten told CNN anchor Kate Bolduan that, according to an average of polls, Trump is now 55 percentage points in the hole with men under 30. "Oh my goodness gracious!" Enten said. "I was literally about to ask you if that was a typo," Bolduan responded. "No, that was not a typo," he said."
""Me and my crack crew spend many hours on those slides, and we can tell you that is not a typo. That is a 56-point move against the president of the United States, among young men who helped put him over the top in the election and now he is very much struggling with them.""
""Maybe that's part of the reason why he wants to put on an event like" the UFC fight."
