Young Voters Abandon Trump as Republican Support Among Young Women Falls to 13%

Summary
Young men have swung back toward Democrats, who now hold a 1-point edge with that group after Trump won 55% of young men in 2024.
Young women have moved even more sharply: Republican support fell to 13% from 31% in 2024, while about 10% of young men now say they are undecided.
Former Trump voters interviewed cited deportations, the economy, the Epstein files, misogyny, war and rising living costs as reasons they now plan to vote Democratic or sit out.
The shift suggests a key bloc that helped Trump break with past youth voting patterns is again politically fluid heading into this year's elections.
