Quote:Middle-aged Americans are souring on President Donald Trump, according to the latest polls by The Economist/YouGov, as these voters grow more concerned about the future of Social Security and Medicare and the rising cost of living, experts say.
The most recent poll, conducted between August 7 and 10 among 1,589 U.S. adults, shows that Trump's net approval rating among Americans aged 45 to 64—a combination of Gen Xers and younger baby boomers—has plummeted to -25, with 60 percent disapproving of the way he is handling the job and 35 percent approving.
That is a significant drop from earlier this summer. A survey conducted between June 5 and 8 among 1,568 U.S. adults found that the president's net approval rating was -10 among that age group, with 43 percent approving of his job performance and 53 percent disapproving.
A month later, a survey conducted between July 10 and 13 found that Trump's net approval rating had fallen to -12, as 43 percent of Americans aged 45-64 approved of his handling of the presidency, while 55 percent disapproved.
Trump's net approval rating has not only declined twofold among middle-aged Americans but also fallen at a faster rate than any other demographic group this summer, though it remained significantly higher than among Gen Zers and millennials.
As of the latest poll, Trump's net approval rating was -41 percent among Americans aged 18 to 29 and -35 among those aged 30 to 44. Among older Americans, those over 65, the president's net approval rating was -18.
