**Cambridge, MA** – A new Harvard Youth Poll reveals a potential weakness for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election: young men. While Harris enjoys strong support overall, particularly among young women, the poll indicates a significant gap in her performance compared to President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton among male voters in the 18-29 age group.
The poll, conducted by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, found that Harris holds a narrow 17-point lead over former President Donald Trump among likely male voters. This contrasts sharply with Biden’s 28-point lead and Clinton’s 19-point lead among the same demographic in previous elections.
The poll, which surveyed 2,002 young adults between September 4th and 16th, also found that Harris enjoys a 47-point lead over Trump among young women. This strong support among female voters further highlights the disparity in her appeal across genders.
While the poll indicates potential challenges with young men, Harris maintains a substantial lead over Trump overall, with 46% support among young adults and 61% among likely voters. The poll also suggests that Harris would perform even stronger in a two-way race, with 64% support against Trump’s 32%.
These findings come as a recent New York Times/Siena College poll reported that Trump is outperforming Harris among working-class voters. This suggests a broader trend of Harris facing difficulty with male voters across demographics.
As the election approaches, the Harris campaign will likely focus on addressing the concerns of young men and working-class voters to solidify her position in the race.
