Indicator – Abroad – Kamala Harris' lead over Trump widens in key election age group

Kamala Harris’s approval rating among voters under 35 is 52 percent, while Donald Trump’s is 40 percent among that group. The race in that age group remains tighter than it was in 2020, when President Joe Biden held a 21-point lead in the same age group, according to exit polls. CNN From a survey conducted by SSRS.

The gender gap, which can be seen across all age groups, is also present in this group. While 53% of women under 35 prefer Harris over Trump, the race is closer among men. Among registered voters, young women are 15 percentage points more likely than men to say something positive about Harris.

Polls on young voters’ presidential preferences have been wildly skewed over the past year. While recent polls show young voters favoring the Democratic nominee again after Harris’s emergence, they paint a different picture of his lead. Even national surveys conducted in recent days have shown a significant difference among younger voters. According to the Quinnipiac University survey, Harris’ lead was just 3 percentage points, while the Harvard Institute of Politics poll showed a 32-point lead.
