From the Daily Caller: CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten on Wednesday said Vice President Kamala Harris is not retrieving the young voters that President Joe Biden had hemorrhaged to former President Donald Trump.
Trump led Biden 48% to 40% with young voters ages 18-29, according to an early July New York Times/Siena College poll. Enten on “CNN News Central” said Harris might be doing “slightly better,” but that it is not a significant improvement over Biden and that she is doing much worse than the president did in 2020 with young voters.
“You know, all this stuff about Brat Summer and all that jazz. So I want to take a look at Trump versus Democratic margin. Just remind folks where we were at the end of the 2020 campaign. Joe Biden won voters under the age of 35 by 21 points,” Enten told host John Berman. “What do we see with Kamala Harris? Well, she’s still ahead, but the margin here is significantly less than what we saw with Joe Biden back in 2020. She’s up by just nine points. You may make the argument that was better than Biden was doing before he got out, but compared to that Democratic baseline, where Democrats have historically in presidential elections, at least this century, been carrying that young vote by 20 or more percentage points, she is way down from that. ”
