Young Voters Flock To Biden And Mass Mobilize Against Trump

Young voters say that Donald Trump has made their lives worse, and they are supporting Joe Biden in numbers comparable to Bernie Sanders.
The Spring 2020 Harvard Youth Poll found Biden leading Trump 51%-28% with voters age 18-29, and 60%-30% among young voters who are likely to vote.
According to the Harvard Youth Poll:
The Democratic advantage with Biden leading the ticket (+30) is similar to the advantage Democrats would enjoy if Senator Bernie Sanders had been the party nominee. In a hypothetical matchup between Sanders and Trump, 62% of likely voters reported that they would support the Vermont Senator, 31% President Trump (+31). Among likely voters, Biden captures 88% of young Democrats, Trump 90% of young Republicans; among Independents, 56% prefer Biden, and 25% prefer Trump.
.
President Trumps job performance rating of 32% approval stands at the same level it was during the initial months of his administration (Spring 2017), and seven points better than it was at its lowest point measured in our poll, in the weeks following the Parkland shootings.
