Pollster Jeremy Zogby indicates that \u200cTrump maintains a narrow approval rating of 49%-48%, bolstered by new support from groups like\u2063 first-time voters \u200cand a majority of those consuming news via modern media channels like podcasts. This change reflects a \u200bgenerational \u200ddivide, with younger voters expressing skepticism towards conventional media and favoring social media and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/late-night-pounces-seizes-on-jan-6-fake-news-story\/\" title=\"Late Night Pounces, Seizes on Jan. 6 Fake ...

That amounts to a generational flip since the president&rsquo;s first term when those older than 65 were a major source of Trump&rsquo;s support,&rdquo; added Zogby.<\/p>\n<p>In fact he said, older voters don&rsquo;t approve of Trump, with 58% expressing disapproval.<\/p>\n<p>The shift among 2024 election voters matches the change in how Americans are finding and consuming news, said Zogby. Those who have stuck with old media such as TV news and print lean away from Trump while new media users and those who rely on social media are joining his coalition.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This particular angle is among the most critical findings from the poll because it aligns with a generational shift in the country &mdash; voters under 45 are much less trusting of traditional information sources and have gravitated towards two- to three-hourlong free-form podcasts and social media where satirical memes that challenge the national network and print narratives are commonplace. When it comes down to it, this is arguably the real divide,&rdquo; Zogby added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During and after the campaign, Trump has gone out of his way to favor new media.
