Thoughts on Trump by Young Republican Voters
Kristen Soltis Anderson partnered with The New York Times on the discussion.
Kristen Soltis Anderson, the Republican pollster who has been partnering with The New York Times, recently gathered current thoughts on Trump by young Republican voters.
The main takeaways:
Inflation, in part through Trump’s tariffs, is impacting families’ finances.
Changes were needed in the country, but Trump has been going too far, and there is worry of what more may be coming from him.
The voters’ one-word descriptions of Trump: dictatorship, reckless, overpowering, aggressive.
For most of the voters interviewed, their 2024 presidential election vote was a vote against Kamala Harris, instead of a vote for Trump.
Most of them also said Trump’s term is going worse than they expected. None said it is going better than expected.
The U.S. should focus on domestic issues and investments for the betterment of citizens, not Ukraine and Israel.
Trump’s novelties, such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico and the Defense Department, aren’t necessary.
