Young voters have historically supported Democratic presidential candidates by wide margins. But, like so many other reliable Democratic-leaning demographic groups, young people shifted meaningfully to the right on Election Day 2024. In every presidential race since 2008, at least 60% of voters under 30 have supported the Democratic candidate. In the most recent election, however, Democrat Kamala Harris received only 54% of the young vote, according to exit polls. Key Points On Election Day 2024, Americans under 30 voted for Donald Trump in numbers no Republican candidate has seen in recent history. While, in recent months, support for the president has slipped with many demographic groups, Trump remains relatively popular with GenZ voters in certain parts of the country. Working with a financial advisor can help individuals navigate ongoing political and economic uncertainty. Click here to get started now. The generation of Americans born between 1997 and 2012, known as GenZ, is made up entirely of people under age 30. And while GenZ voters are more likely to support Republican candidates than members of previous generations were at the same age, GenZ currently has the lowest opinion of the job Donald Trump is doing as president of any voting-age generation in the United States. According to a recent poll conducted by Morning Consult, a public opinion research company, only 43% of GenZ approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Meanwhile, 48% of Millennials and 49% of both the Baby Boomer generation and GenX approve of the Trump administration. Still, for any demographic group, public opinion of the Trump administration varies considerably across the country — and in some states, GenZ voters are far more likely to approve of the job Trump is doing as president than in others. Using data from Morning Consult, 24/7 Wall St. identified the states where Trump has the highest approval rating among GenZ voters. States are ranked by the share of GenZers who approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Survey data used in this story was collected between February and April 2025. All 43 states with available data are included on this list. Among these 43 states, Trump’s approval rating among GenZ voters ranges from 27.3% to nearly 60%. Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the highest ranking states on this list are home to large conservative populations, and are places that Trump won by double-digit margins in 2024 — including Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia. In each of these states, more than 55% of GenZ voters approve of Trump’s presidency. (Here is a look at the Americans who are most likely to approve of the Trump administration so far.) The states on other side of the list, where GenZers are least likely to approve of the actions of the Trump administration, tend to be Democratic strongholds that Harris won decisively in 2024. In many of these states, including California, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington, Trump’s approval rating does not exceed 36% among GenZ voters. (Here is a look at Trump’s overall approval rating in every state.) These are the states where Trump has the highest approval rating with GenZ voters. Why It Matters President Trump’s 2024 electoral victory was partially due to his ability to siphon votes from certain, reliably Democratic, demographic groups — including young voters. Still, across the U.S. as a whole, Trump’s approval ratings are underwater with Gen Z, the youngest generation of Americans that includes eligible voters. There are many states, however, where the president remains relatively popular within this demographic group that will play a meaningful role in many presidential races to come. 43.
