New Poll: Trump Leads Nationally as Young Voters Turn Away from Biden

A new Emerson College poll reveals an exciting development in the political landscape. It shows that former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by 47-43% in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.
But that’s not all. When independent and third-party candidates Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein are added to the mix, Trump’s lead over Biden expands nationally to 43-37%.
What’s even more intriguing is that numerous polls have shown Trump gaining momentum among young voters. Emerson College, in particular, conducted an oversampling of voters under the age of 30 and found that Biden only held a 5% lead over Trump. Specifically, among voters aged 18-29, Biden leads Trump 45-40%. However, when we separate these voters into two distinct groups, Trump actually leads Biden 44-42% among voters aged 25-29. Biden, on the other hand, outpaces Trump 48-35%.
But here’s the twist. Emerson also surveyed 182 voters under the age of 30 who did not participate in the 2020 election. Surprisingly, 43% of this group now backs Trump for the 2024 election, while 21% still support Biden.
The poll also shed light on the top concerns of young voters. It revealed that 44% of voters under the age of 30 listed the economy as the most pressing issue facing the country today, followed by healthcare at 14%.
“Voters under 30 were also asked what concerns them most in an open-ended response,” the poll findings read. “The top words mentioned were ‘inflation’ (94 mentions), ‘economy’ (71 mentions), and ‘money’ (49 mentions); the words ‘worried’ or ‘concerned’ were mentioned 67 times. No other phrase was mentioned more than 29 times.”
According to the polling average from RealClearPolitics, Trump currently leads Biden by 2.1% nationally.

New Poll Shows Trump Leads Biden in Hypothetical Matchup
A recent poll conducted by Emerson College has revealed an exciting development in the political landscape. The poll indicates that former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by 47-43% in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.
But the surprises don’t end there. When independent and third-party candidates Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein are added to the mix, Trump’s lead over Biden expands nationally to 43-37%.
Perhaps even more intriguing is the growing momentum that Trump has gained among young voters. Emerson College, in particular, conducted an oversampling of voters under the age of 30 and found that Biden only held a 5% lead over Trump. When specifically analyzing voters aged 18-29, Biden leads Trump by a narrow margin of 45-40%. However, when dividing these voters into two distinct age groups, Trump actually leads Biden by 44-42% among voters aged 25-29. On the other hand, Biden outpaces Trump by a wider margin of 48-35%.
But here’s the twist. Emerson also surveyed 182 voters under the age of 30 who did not participate in the 2020 election. Surprisingly, 43% of this group now supports Trump for the 2024 election, while 21% still support Biden.
The poll also shed light on the top concerns of young voters. It revealed that 44% of voters under the age of 30 listed the economy as the most pressing issue facing the country today, followed by healthcare at 14%.
These results demonstrate the dynamic nature of the political landscape and the influence of young voters. As the 2024 election approaches, it will be interesting to see how these trends develop and whether they will have a significant impact on the final outcome.
It is important to note that this poll is just one snapshot in time and that future events and developments can shift the political landscape. The upcoming years will undoubtedly bring new challenges and opportunities, ultimately shaping the preferences and priorities of voters.
In conclusion, the Emerson College poll provides an intriguing glimpse into the hypothetical matchup between Trump and Biden, highlighting Trump’s lead and gaining support among young voters. As the 2024 election draws near, these findings will undoubtedly fuel further analysis and speculation about the future of American politics.
