Polls - Trump losing support of men. The New Republic

Brutal Poll Says Men Are Abandoning Trump
The president is underwater across the board with male voters.

CNN’s Harry Enten broke down recent polling on air Tuesday.

“Donald Trump and Republicans won in 2024 because of support from male voters … and male voters are abandoning Donald Trump,” Enten said. “In November of 2024, he beat Kamala Harris among them by 13 points. By 13 points. Look at where he is now on his net approval rating. Down he goes! It’s a 20-point shift away from Donald Trump. He is now seven points underwater, at this particular point, among men. I think it is very difficult for Republicans to do well in this midterm cycle. If Donald Trump is underwater with men.

“Yikes! Yikes, yikes, yikes! Men under the age of [45] on Trump. He won them in 2024 by five points. Look where he is now.… Down we go to negative 19 points. That’s nearly a 25-point switcheroo against the president of the United States when it comes to men under the age of 45,” Enten continued. “Those men that had switched their allegiances over to the Republican Party are seeing what the president is doing. They don’t like what the President is doing, and they are very much soured on the president of the United States, men under the age of 45.”

The primary catalyst for this reversal is of course the economy.

I do wonder what Harry Enten is going to do once the Ellison’s’ takeover of CNN is complete, and they won’t allow him to report these poll results anymore.

Is he losing some support? Sure. Can he and will he run again in 2028? No / probably not.

It is frustrating that we don’t have robust competing national media with professional exit polling that validates the elections, instead of dubious ‘adjusted’ polls limited to 11 states that focuses on dividing up everyone by race and gender, and providing some narrative around how this group or that group ‘fell that way’ — as if we were consumers buying a brand, instead of the purported owners of a democracy.
