The Republican Party is making headway with nearly every demographic, including young people.
Voters aged 18-34 are equally likely to find the two parties “stale” (at 48%) and equally likely to believe each party represents their views (39%). It’s a major upswing for the GOP, which was trailing Democrats in those categories by 14 and 19 points respectively in 2020. The polling concluded right before the June presidential debate — which probably didn’t help Democrats’ image with the young.
Biden, obviously, is old, and he’s presided over US support for Israel’s war in Gaza, neither of which are helping his credibility with young people. Trump, meanwhile, may be boosting his standing by saying he’s “for TikTok” — he’s a Boomer, yes, but he’s a Zoomer’s Boomer. Age is but a number.
