Poll: Young voters backed House Republicans less than they backed Trump in 2024
A large voter survey suggests young voters supported Republican House candidates at a lower rate in the 2026 midterms than they supported Trump in 2024.
Young voters appear to have backed Republican House candidates at a lower rate in the 2026 midterms than they backed Donald Trump in 2024, according to a large survey of voters.
PBS NewsHour, citing an AP voter poll, says the survey covered about 80,000 voters across all 50 states. The poll breaks down how key demographic groups voted.
NPR reports that the polling firm SSRS conducted the survey for a number of news outlets. NPR describes the sample as tens of thousands of voters.
The two reports excerpted here give no vote shares or other figures for any group.
