Victor Shi: The youth are doing just fine, folks.

What you won't hear in the media today: A new national poll finds young voters will vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump by *29 points* — more than EVERY age group. Stop saying young people prefer Trump over Biden. We don't—& we will do everything we can to re-elect Joe Biden.





A brand new Economist/YouGov poll was released moments ago. Voters between the age of 18-29 prefer President Biden over Donald Trump by *29* points, compared to 11 points for 30-44, -8 points for 45-64, and -17 for 65+. The youth are doing just fine, folks.


More interesting nuggets from the poll: 47% of 18-29-year-olds say they approve of President Biden's job performance, which is also the highest among any age group polled. Still a lot of work to be done, but this poll undercuts the narratives about young people.

Oh, and look at this. More young people support Kamala Harris compared to any other age group...again. And she has higher approvals among women and Black voters. We see everything the Vice President does for us — and the numbers are reflecting it.

Because they are angry with 'Genocide Joe' for not being able to control Netanyahu's strategy in Gaza.

Every Gen Z voter that feels that way needs to watch last night's Frontline - they'll see how much of this current crisis should be laid at Motherfucker's feet.

I thought you were supposed to get wiser as you got older. I guess I'll get some Tootsie Pops and start counting.

Instead of complaining about young voters and voters of color not being motivated enough, maybe we should be trying to reason with our older white friends, neighbors, and relatives. It's OUR demographic that's the problem!
