In the latest polls, it seems that President Biden is facing some serious challenges, especially when it comes to winning over young voters. The New York Times/Siena College poll showed that Trump was leading Biden in several swing states, including Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In Wisconsin, Biden’s lead was only two points, which is not a good sign for the President.
But it doesn’t stop there. CNN and Bloomberg/Morning Consult have also released polls that highlight Biden’s struggle with young voters. The headline of the Bloomberg poll even suggests that Biden’s forgiveness of billions in student debt is not enough to win over Gen Z. As a conservative, it’s no surprise to see young people turning away from Biden. His policies, like student loan forgiveness, may appeal to some, but they don’t address the bigger issues facing our country.
The polls also reveal that Trump may be making gains with young voters, which is great news for conservatives. It’s clear that young people are souring on Biden and his presidency. The CNN poll shows Trump leading in Georgia and Michigan, with a significant boost from voters who did not cast a ballot in 2020. Biden’s struggles in these states can be attributed to voters’ dissatisfaction with his performance as President. A majority of voters in both states believe that Biden’s policies have worsened economic conditions in the country. That’s not a good look for a President who promised to bring prosperity and success.
The polls also highlight Biden’s struggle to align with young voters’ vision of a President. Only a small percentage of voters under 45 see Biden as what they want in a President. In a hypothetical matchup, young voters in both states break in favor of Trump. This is due, in part, to younger Democratic-aligned voters defecting from Biden. It’s clear that Biden needs to do more to win over young voters, but it seems that his policies and approach are not resonating with them.
Overall, the polls paint a grim picture for Biden and his chances of winning over young voters. His approval rating is low, and voters believe that his policies have worsened the economy. It’s not surprising to see young people turning away from him, especially when Trump offers a strong alternative. These polls are a wake-up call for the Biden administration and a sign that they need to do more to connect with young voters. Otherwise, Trump might just have some wiggle room to secure victory in key swing states.
