Key Trump voters 'cannot be counted on' to save GOP in midterms: pollster

The Republican Party continues to grapple with floundering support from young men, a group that moved heavily towards Donald Trump in 2024, with a report from USA Today finding that the party now believes these voters "cannot be counted on" to save them from a midterms wipeout.

The new report from Monday centered on the latest in a long line of surveys that found Trump's support among young voters, especially young men, has dwindled dramatically since his reelection. This survey, a focus group of six young men attending New Hampshire's Saint Anselm College, who gave Trump's second term "mixed reviews," reserving particular criticism for his failure to address the cost-of-living and the brutality of his mass deportation agenda. Each participant voted for Trump in 2024 and, despite their disappointments since then, said they do not regret doing so.

Per USA Today's report, Tyler Witzgall, a 20-year-old sophomore, said that Trump "for all his accomplishments, has fallen short on issues that shape their daily lives, such as high prices," which the outlet called a "sentiment common among his peers." He ultimately graded Trump's performance with a C or C-minus.

"I'm still going to graduate and be in an enormous amount of debt. I won’t be able to buy a home for a while," Witzgall said, summing up his disappointment with Trump.

Ian Pomfret, another 20-year-old sophomore, was more forgiving of Trump's term, grading it with a B-plus, but even a "solid" Trump backer like him had marked criticisms of the president's handling of immigration issues, which he called a "huge problem."

"The ICE thing is a huge problem," Pomfret said, making particular reference to the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota. "I feel like there is a better way of going about it than raiding and killing and instant deportation."

Tyler Delaney, a 19-year-old freshman, said that Trump's relentless snubbing of Democrats and rejection of compromise and cooperation are likely to backfire on him if the opposition wins big in the midterms.

"It gets to a point where you need to have some bipartisanship, and I think that's gonna hit Trump hard after the midterms," he said.

John Della Volpe, "a pollster who specializes in the Gen Z vote," told USA Today that, while young voters are not known to turn out in midterm years, their influence can tip close races, and all signs now indicate that the GOP cannot bet on their support this year.

"All evidence in the last 15 or 16 months is that this cohort cannot be counted on at this stage to be reliable Republican voters," Della Volpe explained. "Mostly because they haven't felt tangible improvements in their day-to-day lives."

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
