A poll conducted by the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics found that younger voters are not excited at the prospect of another Biden-Trump presidential duel. The poll’s results, which were released on December 5, indicated that younger voters are more inclined to vote a “third party” or not vote at all. In the 2020 elections, a record number of Gen Z and late Millennial voters helped President Biden win against President Trump.
In this recent survey, however, it is clear that younger voters are not interested in having to face the same two candidates. Of the 2,098 Americans aged 18 to 29 polled, the number of voters who said they will “definitely” vote in 2024 dropped from 57 percent to 49 percent during the same period (one year before elections) in 2019. In an analysis published in The Harvard Gazette, many of the Gen Z and late Millennial voters appear to have a growing distrust that either Trump or Biden are capable of solving America’s major social issues. Their disenchantment with the two major political parties is also notable.
