Greetings, OnPolitics audience! A new poll indicates that President Joe Biden is experiencing a decline in support from youth voters, attributable to his management of the Israel-Hamas conflict and other matters that have generated discontent within this crucial demographic.
Your favored OnPolitics author reported that the Harvard Youth poll, which included 2,010 18-29-year-olds, found that Biden would outperform former President Donald Trump by 56% to 37% among young voters likely to cast ballots on election day and by 50% to 37% among registered youth voters. These numbers are closer among young adults under the age of 30, where 45% support Biden and 37% support Trump.
Undecided are sixteen percent of the American population. Since 2020, Biden’s support among youthful voters has continued to decline: At this point in the 2020 election, the president held a significantly larger lead, according to the poll. Biden was supported by 60% of probable youth voters under the age of 30, whereas Trump was only 30%.
What are several concerns that youthful Americans have? As one issue, the Israel-Hamas conflict motivates youth electors to cast ballots. Young Americans are more likely to view Israel’s actions as unjustified than justifiable, according to the survey.
Furthermore, immigration is a major concern for many electors. The construction of a wall along the southern border is opposed by 45% of young Americans, while 53% believe a crisis exists at the border and 50% believe that immigrants “improve the culture” of the United States.
