– If the presidential election were held today, latest poll shows Harris leading Trump by 12 points Among young Americans, the figure is 46% to 34%.
– More than two-thirds of young Americans say the economy is moving in the wrong direction, but they don’t seem to blame Harris for that.
Overall, there was a broader shift among respondents in voting support for Harris. If the presidential election were held today, the latest poll found that among young Americans, Harris led Trump by 12 points, 46% to 34%, while 21% said they would vote for Kennedy or another candidate.
Three months ago, the same survey found that Trump and Biden Thirty-six percent support Biden, 35% support Trump, and 29% plan to vote for Kennedy.
Harris’ goal is to get more young voters into the tent before Election Day, but considering where the campaign is taking place, this is a very good development for the vice president. Young people are energized by the Harris-Walz vote, and they appear to feel more connected to Harris than to President Biden.
Trump’s support among young voters has always been part of his polling illusion. Trump’s best hope is that Joe Biden stays in the race and young people remain disinterested or apathetic about the election.
With Biden not in the race, young people are energized, and that energy is pushing Harris ahead in the polls and filling her rallies, which could propel Democrats to victory if that continues until Election Day.
