A recent Axios/Generation Lab poll reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys substantially higher popularity among America's youngest voters compared to President Joe Biden.
The survey, conducted entirely after Biden's withdrawal announcement on Sunday, gauged respondents' preferences in hypothetical Biden-Trump and Harris-Trump matchups.
In a Biden versus Trump scenario, 18- to 34-year-olds favored Biden by 53% to Trump's 47%, a 6-point advantage for Biden, the poll found.
However, in a Harris versus Trump contest, the same age group preferred Harris by 60% to Trump's 40%, giving Harris a substantial 20-point lead.
Gen Z and millennial voters played a crucial role in Biden's 2020 victory, with unprecedented turnout and a 20-point preference for Biden, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.
