CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten warned that Vice President Kamala Harris’ support among young voters is “just not there” despite positive internet memes.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten revealed on Wednesday that presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is struggling to gain traction among young voters despite a recent influx of internet memes.
Referencing CNN exit polls, Enten noted that President Biden won voters under the age of 35 by 21 points in 2020, but Harris is leading former President Trump by “significantly less” as of Sunday (9 points).
He said that Harris may be doing better than Biden among young voters before announcing he would not run for re-election. However, her numbers are still “way down” from many other Democrats in the 21st century.
“If this is unique support among young voters, I would like to know what her non-unique support is. Is it even worse than this?” Enten said.
He also showed another poll that displayed how motivated Democrats were to vote after Biden left the race.
