President Joe Biden’s chance to recover support from young voters may be evaporating, AGF Investments Chief U.S. Policy Strategist Greg Valliere said on Fox Business on Monday.
Some polling has indicated Biden’s declining support among young voters is related to his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, but it has been decreasing since before the conflict commenced in October. In addition to Biden losing the key voting bloc, former President Donald Trump is slightly ahead of him in the RealClearPolling average and he has a cratering approval rating; if the president is unable to retrieve young voters, he will be fully reliant on earning back the votes of black and Hispanic voters, who he is also struggling with, Valliere said on on “Making Money With Charles Payne.”
It’s still April and there’s a long way to go, but there’s some really ominous trends for Biden. In particular his numbers, Charles, with young people,” Valliere told host Charles Payne. “He’s lost five points in the last few months with young people. He’s now trailing or even with Hispanics and African-Americans. If he doesn’t do well with those three groups there’s no way he can win.”
Trump’s backing from black men has increased in battleground states to 30% ahead of the 2024 election, compared to 2020 when he received 12%, according to a recent poll by The Wall Street Journal. Biden’s support among Latinos has plunged since June 2023 and he now only leads Trump by 9% in favorability, according to a recent Axios/Ipsos survey.
“I’ve been around for a while and this is starting to remind me of 1968, when you saw young people really get angry, occupy dorms, occupy campuses,” Valliere added. “You’re seeing that now and I think it’s almost too late for the president to regain his support among young people. He’s got to do very well among Hispanics and African-Americans and he’s not.”
Anti-Israel protests have proliferated across college campuses throughout the U.S., such as Columbia University, with encampments springing up that have impeded students attending classes as well as leading to clashes with law enforcement.
Democratic strategist James Carville on Sunday chided young voters for not committing to vote for Democrats, asserting that Republican and conservative control of the country will lead to losing all of their rights for the remainder of their lives. Carville in late March warned that Democrats losing young voters is a “horrifying” problem for the party.
Younger voters were crucial to Biden’s 2020 coalition as a Pew Research Center analysis found 59% of voters aged 18 to 29 cast ballots for him in the last election, while Trump received just 33% of the vote among this group.
Sux to be Serpenthead.
I don’t really think Joe’s team is very worried ...
and yet SOMEHOW he’ll get 85 million votes. mean tweets ya know.
That bag of Cheetos costs the same but becomes empty in half the time. People feel the pain.
Then it’s a good thing only Key Ballot Blocs matter this time, isn’t it? /s
Nonsense. All Biden's team needs to do is cheat a little harder.
Ominous for whom? Vote Democrat and go to war?
I hope Xiden loses even more support before November.
I thought the group would be “persons of very low IQ.”
So, Biden will lose votes from people who think he’s too PRO-Israel, and from people who think he’s too ANTI-Israel.
81,000,000 votes my ass.
Was talking to a friend. His son graduated college, is unable to land a real job, has had to do low paid internships, and is thinking he’ll need to go back and get a graduate degree.
Multiply that despair by millions of young people who are afraid of dropping out of the middle class, and you will see Joe’s problem.
At work I meet a lot of middle-class Blacks.
Many are p.o.ed on steroids with the Dims. And are pro-Trump.
Not sure the Dims can cheat their way through this, but I know they are gonna try like hell.
“and is thinking he’ll need to go back and get a graduate degree.”
Talk about not getting it. 2 years of trade school would be a much better investment.

I was 11 years old in 1970 and lived about 8 miles from Kent State. I vividly remember those riots and all the fun at the 1968 Dem convention. If this summer is anything like that President Puddinghead is going to lose in a landslide.

Do they act worried?
Is that age group an actual voting bloc or just a demographic. I don’t think they actually vote.
