The manosphere stars who helped Trump win are losing their shine

Manosphere influencers who previously mobilized young men for Donald Trump are now seeing their influence wane with that demographic. New polling suggests prominent figures like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson have experienced drops in favorable ratings among young men. Andrew Tate's net approval rating is notably negative. Economic concerns and the Iran war have become significant issues for young men, creating tension with pro-Trump voices. Young men are increasingly skeptical of politicians and influencers, with Trump's approval among this group seeing a sharp decline. However, young men also express a lack of enthusiasm for Democrats, with only a few showing upticks in favorability. Some manosphere personalities have openly criticized Trump on issues like the Iran war and the Epstein files. Researchers question the extent to which podcasts truly influenced Trump's gains among young men in 2024. Despite this, influencers still possess considerable reach, with a significant portion of Gen Z adults getting news from creators and acknowledging their influence on voting decisions. Ultimately, the current direction of the country is negatively impacting the influence of these personalities and Trump with young men.
