Gen X Voters Boost Donald Trump's Approval Rating

Benzinga

President Donald Trump’s approval rating among Generation X voters has jumped 23 points since April, according to a new CNN/SSRS poll conducted from July 10th to the 13th. The survey shows 55% of voters aged 50 to 64 now approve of Trump, giving him a +10 net approval rating in that age group, his only net-positive rating across all demographics. The shift could strengthen Trump’s influence within the Republican Party ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Broader public opinion remains divided. The same poll showed a net-16 approval rating overall, while a separate Tyson Group survey put him at 45% approval and 51% disapproval. Boston University professor Thomas Whalen told Newsweek that Gen X’s traditionally higher voter turnout makes them a key bloc, though he questioned whether this support will endure.
