Biden's Support of Israel: Hurting Him with Young Voters and Facing Disapproval on Gaza
A recent national survey conducted by The New York Times/Siena College shows that President Biden is losing support among young voters, with Donald Trump leading among this demographic by 49 percent to 43 percent. The shift in support can be attributed to young voters' negative views of Israel's recent conduct, with many believing that Israel isn't doing enough to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza and isn't interested in peace. Young Biden voters with anti-Israel views are more likely to switch to Trump, indicating that opposition to the war is contributing to Biden's weakness among young voters. Additionally, the survey reveals that Biden leads among likely voters for the 2024 election, with a six-point lead among those who participated in the 2020 election, while Trump holds a 22-point lead among those who did not vote in 2020. However, caution is advised due to the small sample size of nonvoters in the survey.
