Trump beats Biden among YOUNG voters in new NBC poll - just three years after Dem president held 26 point lead over MAGA rival ahead of the 2020 election

1 year ago 51

Disastrous polling news for President Joe Biden continues to pile up, as a new survey suggests that his predecessor, Donald Trump, is even beating him in the polls among voters under 35. 

The new poll, conducted by NBC News, shows Trump leading Biden by two points - 46 to 44 percent - overall. It is the latest in a series that have shown Trump pulling into a lead on Biden.

He also leads Biden among every age group except for senior citizens, who favor the current president.

Biden had a four point lead in the same survey when it was conducted in July, while the pair were in a dead hit when NBC polled voters in September.  

But it's among voters ages 18 to 34 that are the biggest shock in this survey, as Trump leads Biden with that demographic 46 to 42.

Biden won younger voters by about 26 points in 2020 over Trump, according to the New York Post.

Part of the problem may be Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war - which has seen young people take increasingly radical anti-Israel stances - where 70 percent of 18-34 year olds disapprove of Biden's stance on the issue, versus 20 percent approval.

Similar to the overall results, voters over 65 are the only group to majority approve Biden's handling of the conflict.

Biden still leads Trump among black voters, women and whites with college degree, while Trump holds an advantage among white voters, men and rural voters.  

The survey - conducted between November 10 and November 14 - contained more good news for Trump, as he maintains a firm grip on the Republican Primary. 

Trump leads the Republican Primary - which is set to start with the Iowa Caucus in just eight weeks on January 15 - with a whopping 58 percent of the vote. He's also 13 percent of voters' second choice.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to play second banana at 18 percent, 40 points behind. However, he is the second choice of a plurality of GOP voters, with 36 percent preferring him to the rest of the non-Trump candidates.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley finishes third at 13 percent, with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and ex-New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tied at just three percent.

But for the current president, it's just the latest poll showing his grip on the electorate slipping with less than a year until the election. 

Biden administration officials believe they have a good news story to tell on the economy after reducing inflation from post-pandemic highs of more than nine percent.

The president himself has frequently leaned into 'Bidenomics' — his effort to reinvigorate the nation's industrial sector and create well-paying jobs.

'When Donald Trump looks at America, he sees a failing nation,' Biden said during a campaign stop in Chicago on Thursday. 'When I look at America, I see the strongest economy in the world ... leading the world again, the ability to set the world standards.'

A new monthly poll conducted for the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business suggests most voters are closer to Trump than Biden in their analysis.

Democratic strategists Global Strategy Group and Republican polling firm North Star Opinion Research surveyed 1,004 registered voters nationwide. 

Only 26 per cent said Biden's policies had helped.

When asked what was causing them most financial stress, some 82 percent of those surveyed said price increases. 

'Every group — Democrats, Republicans and independents — list rising prices as by far the biggest economic threat . . . and the biggest source of financial stress,' said Erik Gordon, a professor at Michigan's Ross School. 

'That is bad news for Biden, and the more so considering how little he can do to reverse the perception of prices before election day.'

Recent polling for the New York Times suggests Biden could lose key swing states to Trump

The Biden campaign has dismissed bleak polls as nothing but 'noise' and pointed to similar negative headlines a year before Barak Obama was reelected president in 2012.

Last week Michael Tyler, Biden-Harris 2024 communications director, circulated a memo after Democrats had a strong set of election results, with the party taking control of both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly, holding the governor's mansion in Kentucky, and with voters in Ohio enshrining a right to abortion.

'It will be a close election, but this is a president and a team that doesn't shy away from a fight,' he wrote. 

'Joe Biden has been counted out time and time again and proved pollsters and pundits wrong. Now is the time to put our heads down, execute, and bring this thing home one year from now.'
