 and has been for months. 'Among 18- to 35-year-olds,' the poll reads, 'Trump has a slight 53-38 percent advantage (marginally significant at this sample size). Still, that essentially matches what it was in May, and Trump also was numerically ahead in this group (albeit not significantly) by 50-43 percent in February.' This is contrary to the conventional political wisdom fed to us by legacy media, which says that young people as a group are left-wing. A November 6 analysis of the 2020 election conducted by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University indicated that 53 percent of eligible youth voters cast their votes during that election cycle. These youth voters made up 17 percent of the total voting public. According to CIRCLE's analysis, younger voters who favored Biden overwhelmingly did so because of Covid-19, and younger voters favoring Trump did so because of economic concerns. Reportedly, according to polling conducted prior to the midterm elections, Democrats most reflected the concerns of younger voters, vowing to address health care, mass shootings, mental health, and abortion in ways that please this group. At that point, younger voters overwhelmingly favored the Democrats. But what does the new data mean for the 2024 election cycle? Conventional wisdom tells us that younger generations tend to be more liberal, and that's a fair assessment: spend any amount of time on a univers){kind=link}
We may be naturally liberal, but we can’t make ends meet and we know who’s to blame
A recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll spells disaster for President Joe Biden. Not only did it show Biden’s approval ratings plunging in the wake of his administration’s disastrous handling of the economy and ongoing illegal migration crisis at the US-Mexico border, but it also showed former President Trump with a 9-point lead over Biden in a head-to-head rematch.
But one of the most striking takeaways from this poll is that Trump is faring considerably better than Biden with younger voters (18- to 35-year-olds) and has been for months.
