Less than one in three young Americans who approve Job, which is conducted by President Donald Trump and Congress, according to a new national poll from the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics.
But while the approval ratings for Trump and Congressional Republicans have been largely consistent since the start of the president's first administration eight years ago, the 50th Harvard Youth poll shows that the approval ratings for Americans aged 18-29 are being rescued.
According to a Harvard annual spring survey conducted March 14-25 and released Wednesday, Congressional Democrats' approval rate was 23%, down from 42% in spring 2017 when Trump's first term began.

“At that same time, the approval of Congressional Republicans was stable, with a slight inching from 28% to 29%,” the poll release said.
And Trump's approval rate 100 days after his second White House job tour next week is 31% in a new survey.

The Harvard University survey is the latest in showing the troubling Democrat numbers.
The trust rating of Democratic leadership in Congress took place between April 1-14, and was a record low of 25% in the Gallup vote announced last week. This is nine points below the previous 34% low recorded in 2023.
Promoting a decline in confidence in Democratic Congress leaders was a 41-point charge among Democrats questioned in the Gallup investigation.
Favorable ratings of Democrats drop to record lows
A national poll conducted by Kinipiac University in February and last month by CNN and NBC News, showed a favorable rating for Democrats to sink to their all-time lows.

Since returning to the White House three months ago, Democrats have become increasingly angry and energized in response to Trump's aggressive and controversial moves in cutting the federal government and overturning its longtime public.
That rage is directed not only on Trump and Republicans, but also on Democrats. Many party bases feel that Congressional leaders are not effective or vocal enough to oppose the president.

According to a Harvard poll, only 15% say the country is heading in the right direction, with over half (51%) saying it's on the wrong track.
And only one in four people surveyed said the current state of the country is better under Trump than during the former president's four-year term at the White House.
41% say things have improved under Biden, 14% say they are no different and 17% say they are not sure.
