Trump Resurgence as Young Voters Shift in Favor of TRUMP
NO CAP: The winds of change are blowing as young voters pivot towards Donald Trump, narrowing the gap with Joe Biden and defying the overwhelming support the latter enjoyed in 2020.
In the numbers game:
The latest Axios poll, delving into the preferences of voters aged 18 to 34, reveals a noteworthy shift:
48% throw their support behind Trump
52% stand with Biden
The significance: This 4-point turnaround is a promising sign for Trump, considering that in 2020, Biden clinched young voters with a substantial 20-point lead.
Unpacking the motivation:
The same poll probed the key issues driving these voters to the ballot box:
Economy takes the lead at 39%
Abortion follows at 16%
Student debt at 11%
Immigration ties at 11%
Climate change at 10%
Guns at 7%
Other concerns also garnering 7%
In the broader context: This poll aligns with similar findings. A New York Times poll in December placed Trump ahead of Biden with young voters, boasting a 49% to 43% lead. Additionally, a November NBC poll showcased Trump leading by 4 points.
Anticipating Biden’s response: To rekindle young voters’ enthusiasm, Biden’s strategists are expected to spotlight abortion and student debt in the coming months. Last week, flexing executive power, Biden attempted to woo the youth vote by forgiving an additional $1.2 billion in student loan debt for 3.9 million borrowers.
