Iran War, Epstein Files Causing Male Voters to Abandon Trump: Support has Cratered by an Astonishing 20 Points
During Wednesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly pointed to fresh polling analysis from CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten, who said Trump’s approval among men has swung sharply negative since November, with the steepest declines among men under 45 and men under 25. Kelly argued the numbers pose a serious political risk for Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms.
“Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now,” Enten said on Tuesday.
According to CNN’s analysis of multiple national polls, Trump won male voters by 13 points in the 2024 presidential election. That advantage has since flipped. Enten said Trump is now seven points underwater in net approval among men overall—a roughly 20‑point swing in just over a year.
The movement is even more pronounced among younger men. Enten reported that Trump carried men under the age of 45 by five points in 2024 but now holds a net approval rating of -9 with that group. Men under 25 show a similar collapse, shifting from backing Trump in the election to registering a net approval of minus 19 in recent polling.
Reacting to the data, Kelly said the figures suggest “the coalition Trump relied on is no longer as solid as it looked on Election Day,” warning sustained losses among young men could reverberate across battleground districts in the midterms.
