Joe Biden falls behind Donald Trump with young voters, a key group ahead of 2024, poll says

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election matchup among young voters, an NBC News poll released Sunday found. 

Among voters ages 18-34, Biden saw 42% support. That's compared to Trump, who led him with 46% support. The poll is an early warning for Biden’s campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential election that young voters could be peeling away from him.

Young voters were a key voting bloc essential to Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. An exit poll from NBC News in 2020 found Biden won voters aged 18-29 by more than 20 points.
