Harris tops Trump by 9 points among young voters in new survey
The Hill ^ | 08/12/2024 | Miranda Nazzaro -

Vice President Harris leads former President Trump by 9 points among young voters in a new poll, marking the latest shift in support from a demographic President Biden struggled to capture before withdrawing from the 2024 race.

In a SocialSphere survey, released by Democratic super PAC Won’t Pac Down, Harris garnered 51 percent support from registered voters ages 18-29 in battleground states in a two-way race against Trump, who had 42 percent of support from this group. Seven percent did not know which candidate they would back.

Pollsters noted this is a 13-point shift to Harris since the poll was taken last in early July, when Trump led in this group 48 percent to 44 percent.

Politico was the first to report and obtain the survey.

I think Crime Boss Joey won that group by about 20 points in 2020

Just saying.

Yes, the 18-29 age cohort was +29 Biden in 2020. Turnout in that same cohort in 2020 was 46%.

Applying this survey's +9 Harris figure to the 2020 race, and leaving everything else constant, Trump would have won the election easily -- in terms of the EV, that is -- picking up GA, AZ, NV, PA, MI, WI, and NE CD-2, all of which Trump lost in 2020. Basically, a repeat of 2016, but with NV thrown in for good measure.

Put simply, +9 for Harris among age 18-29 voters would be catastrophic for her.

Vivek should stop pontificating on Twitter and go campaign among young people.

I have one of those no-rent paying sons. He hates Capitalism; also hated by the Marxists. His favorite show is John Oliver, a POS. I ask him where he gets his ideas, and he won't tell me. I suggest he try the Babylon Bee, which would be a step up.

“I like Lara, but he needs some real experience on the team.”

Exactly!

And none of these Beltway ad and PR guys.

Find someone who’s a bit edgy and is willing to push the envelope a bit.

The deep state will be cheating in a new way. The vote counts will be regulated like a PID Tuning Control. The steal will not be at 3:00AM. It will be a tuning function with every rise in count that exceeds the needed totals, the value will adjust, or tune itself.

“We can call this BS, we can call it propaganda, we can call it whatever we want. But we need to understand that most young people today are indoctrinated idiots. And some of them vote.”

Exactly!

Re: "Harris 51% - Trump 42% - Age 18-29 - 2024 Battleground States"

If this poll is accurate, it might be GOOD news.

In the 2020 election, Biden received 60% of the age 18-29 vote - in the best NATIONAL exit poll.

Trump received just 36% - in the same 2020 NATIONAL exit poll.

Please keep in mind that age 18-29 NATIONAL voters in 2020 were almost 50% non-white.

My 2020 NATIONAL data comes from the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University. Here is the link...

True. Let’s hope there’s something amusing to distract them from voting.

Around 40% of the two youngest generations believe socialism is a better system than capitalism. And they haven’t been taught enough history or economics in school to know what either means. Just “feelings” and “fairness.”

They vote. They just don’t know that someone votes for them via absentee ballot.

Trump could certainly use men like Lyn Nofziger, Ed Meese, James Baker, and Lee Atwater on his team. He doesn't really have any close confidantes (other than Don Jr or Eric) who have his best interests in mind with solid, experienced strategy.

Re: "Biden won that age group by about 20 points in 2020..."

Biden won the 18-29 age group 60%-36% in a 2020 NATIONAL exit poll.

Please note...

This new poll is ONLY for Battleground States.

The age 18-29 demographics in Battleground states might be different, since California and New York state have been excluded.
