President Donald Trump's approval rating has reportedly dropped among baby boomers, one of his strongest demographics, according to a YouGov/Economist poll conducted between November 7 and November 10.
Trump is reported to have dropped to a 42% approval rating and a 57% disapproval rating equaling a -15 net approval rating among baby boomers. The president had a 49% approval rating and a 49% disapproval rating among baby boomers in October.
Baby boomers were crucial in Trump's 2024 election victory over Democratic former Vice President Kamala Harris, with the president getting 51% of support among the generation, according to Yahoo! Finance. Last month, the Harvard Caps Harris poll reported that Trump's support among baby boomers was significantly declining.
The survey, which was conducted online among 2,413 registered voters between October 1 and October 2, has Trump at -13% net approval rating (43% approval and 56% disapproval) among voters 65 or older for the month of September, which is an eight-point decline since the July. Last week, the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs research reported that Trump's overall approval rating dropped by 10% over the past eight months.
The survey, which polled 1,143 adults from November 6 to November 10, showed that only 33% of respondents approve of how Trump's overall job performance, a decrease by 10% from an earlier study conducted in March, while 67% of respondents disapprove. The president is also reported to have less support among his own party with only 68% of Republicans approving his job performance, a 13% decrease from the 81% reported during the survey conducted in March.
Only 25% of independent voters approved Trump's job performance while an overwhelming 95% of Democrat responders disapproved.
