Poll: Women drive big advantage for Harris among young voters, with men divided

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: NBC News

Half of registered voters under 30 years old plan to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and one-third are lining up with former President Donald Trump — relatively unchanged from a previous survey in August, according to the new NBC News Stay Tuned Gen Z Poll, powered by SurveyMonkey.

And among young voters who say they will vote in the presidential election in November, Harris leads 56%-36%, a 20-point advantage. With some young voters leaning toward other candidates on the ballot besides Harris and Trump, that’s just shy of the 24-point margin President Joe Biden enjoyed among voters under 30 in 2020 (60%-36%), according to the NBC News exit poll.

Within Gen Z, though, there are notable splits between different groups — and the gender gap is particularly significant.

Young women said they’ll vote for Harris over Trump by a 33-point margin. Young men were essentially even, with Harris having a 2-point lead.

Since 1989.

That is why it is very stupid to take women’s rights away when you are trying to win an election.
