A new poll by CIVIQS
provides more evidence that younger voters are turned off top Joe Biden. Will young voters register their disapproval
of the Biden Administration in November?
I blogged a few days ago about polling data that showed younger voters turned off to Joe
Biden and willing to look toward the GOP on important issues including on jobs
and the economy.
The openness of young people to the GOP message could make
the 2022 election a watershed moment in American politics.
During the past twenty years, majorities of younger voters
have favored the Democratic Party while older voters have favored the Republican
Party. Younger voters have been critical
to the success of Democrats at all levels of government.
Now large numbers of young people have been turned off by
the incompetence of the Biden Administration.
CIVIQS surveyed over 160,000 registered voters on their views
of Joe Biden’s performance as president.
Their survey shows that generational differential in
approval have disappeared.
A mere 26 percent of Americans under the age of 35 approved
of Joe Biden’s handling of his job as president. Approval among younger voters was lower
than the 34 percent approval rate for Biden among all voters.
Biden’s approval numbers are underwater is most major
demographic groups. His approval levels
are equally dismal among both highly educated young people and non-college
graduates and among and men as well as women.
Most telling, only a slim majority—51 percent--young people that
describe themselves as Democrats approve of the job that Biden has done as president
and a mere 42 percent of young Blacks approve of Biden’s handling of his job.
Young Americans are clearly dissatisfied with the left-wing
Biden agenda and are looking for a change.
Will the Republican Party be able to craft a 2022 message that appeal to young people. If so, 2022 could be a watershed year. If not, then ....
