Young Democrats abandon Biden faster than any group

NEWS AND OPINION:

An exodus of a vital demographic from President Biden’s camp may be under way. A headline from Morning Consult explains:

“Young voters, who helped Biden to victory, are a big weak spot in the Democratic coalition — only 28% of the youngest Democrats strongly approve of Biden’s job performance, down 31 percentage points since he took office,” the news organization said Monday.

“America’s youngest voters accounted for the biggest turnout increase of any age group between the past two presidential elections, helping deliver full control of Washington to President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats,” wrote Eli Yokley, a senior reporter for Morning Consult, in his analysis of this emerging phenomenon.
