How Trump's recent actions are affecting his support among young voters

[0:00] PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON THE ROAD THIS WEEK, SPEAKING TONIGHT TO YOUNG VOTERS AT A RALLY [0:04] IN PHOENIX HELD BY TURNING POINT U.S.A. [0:07] AT THE TOP OF HIS SPEECH, THE PRESIDENT SPOKE ABOUT THE WAR WITH IRAN. [0:12] THIS WILL BE A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD. [0:19] BECAUSE IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIGHT OF HARMOS IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS. [0:26] JOINING US NOW IS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT LIZ LANDERS. [0:28] SO, LIZ, THE PRESIDENT'S REMARKS COME AT A TIME WHEN POLLS SHOW HIS STANDING SLIPPING WITH YOUNGER VOTERS. [0:33] WHAT MORE DID HE SAY THIS EVENING? [0:35] WELL, HE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT A RANGE OF ISSUES. [0:38] I WOULD SAY THAT HE IS STILL TALKING RIGHT NOW. [0:40] SO I WAS LISTENING TO THIS SPEECH AS I WAS COMING ON SET HERE. [0:43] HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IRAN AT THE TOP. [0:45] BUT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON DOMESTIC ISSUES IN ORDER TO GET THESE YOUNGER VOTERS BACK. [0:49] THERE WAS A YALE YOUTH POLL THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN MARCH THAT LOOKED AT HIS DISAPPROVAL, [0:55] WHICH IS GOING UP RIGHT NOW WITH YOUNGER VOTERS. [0:58] FOR VOTERS AGED 18 TO 22, HIS DISAPPROVAL STANDS AT 68%. [1:02] FOR THE AGE GROUP 23 TO 29 YEARS OLD, 72% DISAPPROVAL. [1:07] AND 30 TO 34 YEARS OLD, 75% DISAPPROVAL. [1:12] THIS WAS CONDUCTED IN MARCH, BUT THEY DID A SIMILAR SURVEY BETWEEN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. [1:19] AND HIS APPROVAL BETWEEN THAT SURVEY AND THIS ONE, THE MOST RECENT ONE, [1:24] DROPPED IN EVERY AGE GROUP UNDER THE AGE OF 35. [1:28] SO ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BECOMING LESS EXCITED ABOUT HIM AND LESS SUPPORTIVE OF HIM AS PRESIDENT. [1:35] IN PARTICULAR, THE MAJORITY OF YOUNG VOTERS WILL VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS AS OF RIGHT NOW, [1:41] ACCORDING TO THAT POLL, IN THE FALL. [1:43] AND YOUNG WOMEN VOTERS HAVE IN PARTICULAR MOVED AWAY FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP. [1:48] HE SAW, DEMOCRATS SAW A GAIN OF 17 POINTS FOR YOUNG WOMEN 18 TO 22 YEARS OLD. [1:55] AND THE TOP ISSUE, ACCORDING TO THAT YALE YOUTH POLL, WAS AFFORDABILITY. [1:58] AND IN THE PRESIDENT MEANTIME, LIZ, AS YOU WELL KNOW, [2:01] HE IS KEEPING UP THIS ONGOING DISPUTE WITH POPE LEO. [2:05] WHEN YOU TALK TO FOLKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT THAT? [2:08] THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR SIX DAYS, AND THE PRESIDENT STARTED THIS ON SUNDAY OF LAST WEEK [2:13] AND CONTINUES TO TALK ABOUT IT. [2:15] HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY AS HE WAS LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE TO GO TO LAS VEGAS. [2:19] I HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. [2:22] THE POPE HAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT, VERY SIMPLE, [2:25] I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE POPE. [2:27] HIS BROTHER IS MAGA ALL THE WAY. [2:29] I LIKE HIS BROTHER, RUIS. [2:30] I'M NOT FIGHTING WITH HIM. [2:31] I'M NOT FIGHTING WITH HIM. [2:32] THE POPE MADE A STATEMENT. [2:33] HE SAYS IRAN CAN HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. [2:35] I SAY IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. [2:37] POPE LEO, I SHOULD ADD, HAS NOT SAID THAT IRAN CAN HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, [2:42] JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THAT. [2:44] BUT THIS HAS NOW TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT, [2:47] WHO IS CATHOLIC, HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT. [2:49] HE WAS ALSO AT A TURNING POINT USA EVENT EARLIER THIS WEEK IN GEORGIA [2:53] AND WAS HECKLED BY SOMEONE IN THE CROWD WHO YELLED OUT, [2:56] JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT SUPPORT GENOCIDE. [2:59] J.D. Vance TURNED TO HIM AND SAID, YES, JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SUPPORT GENOCIDE. [3:04] BUT HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE POPE NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL [3:07] WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT MATTERS OF THEOLOGY. [3:10] JEFF. [3:11] BACK TO THE PRESIDENT'S TRAVELS. [3:12] HE'S OUT WEST. [3:13] HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY. [3:14] HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS TAX CUT PACKAGE HE SIGNED. [3:17] HE'S CLEARLY TRYING TO PIVOT HERE, AWAY FROM THE WAR WITH IRAN, [3:20] TO AN ECONOMIC MESSAGE. [3:23] WELL, THE WHITE HOUSE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY KNOW [3:25] THEY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND THAT IS WHAT [3:27] REPUBLICANS HAVE TO RUN ON IN ORDER TO TRY TO DO WELL IN THE [3:31] NOVEMBER ELECTIONS WHERE HISTORICALLY THEY PROBABLY WON'T [3:34] DO THAT WELL AS THE PARTY IN POWER. [3:36] WE HEARD FROM THE TREASURY SECRETARY THIS WEEK TALKING ABOUT [3:38] SOME OF THESE SIGNATURE TAX AND SPENDING BILLS AND ISSUES. [3:42] HE SAID, SECRETARY BESSENT, THAT MORE THAN 45% OF THE TAX FILERS [3:46] THAT THEY'VE SEEN SO FAR USED ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE [3:50] POLICIES. [3:51] PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN LAS VEGAS YESTERDAY ALSO TALKING ABOUT [3:54] THIS NO TAX ON TIP POLICY AS WELL. [3:57] AND THIS ALSO, THIS VISIT TO ARIZONA TODAY IS ALSO A POLITICAL MOVE [4:02] AS WELL. [4:03] ARIZONA IS, OF COURSE, A SWING STATE. [4:04] THERE ARE TWO KEY CONGRESSIONAL RACES THERE RIGHT NOW. [4:07] AND THE PRESIDENT WAS ALSO SHARING THE SAME STAGE TODAY AS A [4:10] GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE THAT HE'S ENDORSED, ANDY BIGGS. [4:13] LIS LANDERS, OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS.
