President Donald Trump got some very good news again this week in the form of a new survey from The Economist and YouGov that shows his approval rating spiking with a key voter demographic.
The poll released Tuesday shows Trump with a 42 percent approval rating among millennials. Conducted from June 27 to June 30, the survey included 1,648 U.S. adult citizens and has a margin of error of 3.3 percent.
A week earlier, Trump’s approval rating with millennials stood at 36 percent, based on a survey taken from June 20 to June 23 with 1,590 U.S. adults and a margin of error of 3.5 percent. When Trump began his second term, his approval rating among this voting bloc was 44 percent, with his highest recorded ratings reaching 48 percent in polls conducted in both February and June, Newsweek added.
Last month, Trump’s handling of the ongoing riots in Los Angeles appeared to be boosting his popularity, with voters expressing confidence in his crisis management.
The Morning Consult poll shows the president’s approval rating climbed to its highest point in months, reinforcing the belief among Trump and his advisers that he holds a strong political position as the unrest continues. The riots were sparked by a federal operation targeting undocumented immigrants, an issue where Trump already enjoys strong support.
According to the poll, 50% of voters approve of the president’s performance, while 44% disapprove—a shift of four points in both directions since the firm’s previous survey in May. The latest results mark President Trump’s highest approval rating since January, when optimism surrounding his second term was at its peak.
In Morning Consult’s global rankings, Trump fared well compared to other world leaders. He ranks as the seventh most popular leader among democratic nations surveyed, trailing figures like India’s Narendra Modi and Argentina’s Javier Milei, but outperforming others such as U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
