A recent Harvard Youth Poll conducted by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School has revealed a concerning trend for Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity among young men. The poll, which surveyed 2,002 Americans aged 18-29, found that Harris trails behind President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in terms of support from young male voters.
Among likely male voters, Harris holds a narrow 17-point lead over former President Donald Trump, with 53% of support compared to Trump’s 36%. This is a significant gap compared to Biden’s 28-point lead and Clinton’s 19-point lead among the same demographic.
However, Harris fares better among young women, with a 47-point lead over Trump. She received 70% of support from young women, while Trump garnered only 23%.
The poll also found that Harris has a strong lead among all young adults, with 46% of support compared to Trump’s 29%. Among registered voters, she holds a 23-point lead, with 52% of support to Trump’s 29%.
In a hypothetical two-way race, Harris would receive 64% of support, while Trump would receive 32%. Meanwhile, other presidential candidates, including Jill Stein, Cornel West, and Chase Oliver, each received only 1% of support.
This poll comes on the heels of a New York Times/Siena College poll that found Trump leading Harris among working-class voters, highlighting a potential vulnerability for Harris in this demographic.
