Harris lead among young voters grows to 20 points in new poll
Vice President Harris has grown her lead over former President Trump among younger voters to 20 points, a new poll found.
Sixty percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 say they are going to vote for Harris, while 40 percent say they will vote for Trump, the latest Youth & Money CNBC Generation Lab survey found.
Harris's support from younger voters has grown tremendously over the last several months.
In July, the survey found 46 percent of respondents favored Harris and 34 percent said they would vote for Trump. Another 21 percent said they would vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who at that time had not yet dropped out of the race.
According to the latest survey, younger voters don’t have a lot of enthusiasm about voting in this election. Thirty-eight percent said they were disappointed in the options of candidates, 41 percent said they were neutral and just one-fifth of respondents said they were excited.
Thirty-one percent of younger voters planned to cast their ballots in-person on Election Day. Twenty-four percent said they would be voting by mail and 13 percent said they would vote early in person.
Still, with two weeks until Election Day, 32 percent of younger voters said they weren’t sure where and how they would vote.
Younger Americans in the survey listed job creation and the economy, taxes and trust in government as their top three issues. Immigration, the environment and student debt also ranked high among top issues.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris holds a 1.3 percentage point lead over Trump nationally, with 49 percent to his 47.7 percent based on an aggregation of polls.
The CNBC survey was conducted among 1,021 respondents and has a 3.1 percentage point margin of error.
