CV NEWS FEED // In a recent segment on CNN, the network’s Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten and anchor John Berman admitted that President Joe Biden is losing the support of America’s youngest voters at an alarming rate.
In a video clip shared by the Trump War Room and shared by political commentator Benny Johnson on social media, Enten and Berman explained the new poll results.
“Biden won this group by thirty-two points last cycle over Donald Trump,” Enten stated. “Look at where the polling is now.”
CNN’s data showed Biden leading in the polls by only 7 points among 18-25-year-old voters – compared to a 32-point lead in 2020.
“That is a drop of twenty-five percentage points,” said Enten.
Berman added: “That is a huge swing, the likes of which the Biden campaign has to be a little nervous about.”
CatholicVote has also reported on the substantial level of disapproval of the Biden administration by young Americans revealed in Democratic polls.
This is not the first time CNN has covered Biden’s fall in support among Gen Z. On May 23, Fox News reposted a clip of Enten showcasing Biden’s performance as an incumbent.
“Everybody is saying that Donald Trump is doing ‘weak, weak, weak,’ but it’s actually Joe Biden in my mind that is doing ‘weak, weak, weak’ in the primaries,” Enten said.
According to CNN, Biden’s campaign is trailing because he is only receiving 87% of votes in the presidential primary as an incumbent, compared to Trump’s 94% in 2020.
“That is actually the lowest for any candidate since George H. W. Bush,” Enten said. “And I remember that George H. W. Bush actually lost reelection to Bill Clinton in the fall.”
Additionally, on May 15, CNN Senior Political Analyst Ronald Brownstein wrote about the growing trend of people viewing Trump’s tenure favorably.
“From the 2021 CNN survey until last month’s poll,” Brownstein pointed out, “the share of people who termed Trump’s presidency a success increased more for women than for men; more for people of color than for White voters; more among working-age adults than seniors; and more among Democratic voters than Republican.”
Brownstein explained that part of Biden’s reelection strategy is to remind young voters of Trump’s “record.”
“Refreshing voters about Trump’s prior record could add weight to all of Biden’s warnings about his future plans,” according to Brownstein:
What’s less clear is whether enough voters will make their decisions in November based on those concerns as opposed to the issues where polls show they now express more faith in Trump than Biden, such as inflation, the border and crime.
