President Joe Biden is still leading former President Donald Trump among young voters, but Trump is whittling away at those numbers, a Harvard Youth Poll released Thursday shows.
According to the poll, Biden came out ahead of Trump by 45% to 37% among voters ages 18-29, with 16% remaining undecided, reported Politico.
Biden's margins widened when the pool surveyed was restricted to registered and likely voters, where he came out with a 19-point lead among voters under 30 who are considered likely to cast votes. But that number was still smaller than the 30-point advantage he held among likely young voters four years ago.
His margins in other key demographics, however, dwindled, putting him 6 points ahead of Trump among young men and 3 points ahead with white voters. John Della Volpe, polling director for the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics and an expert on polling young voters, said in a statement that the youth electorate is motivated by different things now than younger voters were in 2020 and 2022.
Meanwhile, Biden's overall lead grew by 10 points among all young adults if Trump is convicted in any of his criminal trials, said the survey.
