Dems losing vote of young adults
A poll of young Americans conducted by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School shows that "while [President Donald] Trump's overall approval has remained stable, support for Democrats has eroded."
The Harvard Youth Poll reported Wednesday, from the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, suggests young people are not particularly impressed with Democrats in Congress.
Indeed, their support of congressional Democrats has dropped below that of congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump.
In the survey, conducted with 2,096 18- to 29-year-olds last month, 23% approved of the job congressional Democrats are doing, compared unfavorably to 29% who approve of congressional Republicans' job performance and 32% who approve of Trump's job performance.
In Harvard's 2017 and 2020 youth polls, Democrats had notably higher approval ratings than their GOP counterparts or Trump. In less than five years, there's been a sharp erosion among young people.
...
What this means is that they have also lost the vote of voters in general, and they are unlikely to recover anytime soon because young people no longer support them in the numbers needed.
