Financial Link News on September 26th (Editor: Huang Junzhi): A recent opinion poll shows that young voters in the USA seem to be more enthusiastic about Vice President Harris than former President Trump, with Harris leading this group by a double-digit advantage in support rate.

It is reported that this poll was commissioned by CNN and conducted by the opinion polling agency SSRS. The survey results show that Democratic presidential candidate Harris leads with a support rate of 52% among voters under 35, compared to Trump's 40% support rate.

CNN commented that Harris's 12% advantage indicates a more intense competition among this group compared to 2020. According to the polls at that time, Biden was significantly ahead by 21%.

Coincidentally, another poll also showed the same result: Harris is more popular among young voters. A poll released by the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics showed that Kamala Harris expanded the Democratic Party's advantage among young voters, leading Donald Trump by 32 percentage points among potential voters aged 18-29.

The poll shows that in a scenario assuming only a showdown between these two candidates, Harris leads Trump among young potential voters by 64% to 32%.

In addition, the CNN/SSRS poll also found that female voters under 35 prefer Harris (53%) over Trump (39%), while young male voters currently have a greater divergence of opinions. Overall, young voters are currently more inclined towards the Democratic Party.

However, the poll found that young voters may still be holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the upcoming election, with less than six weeks left until the election. Among voters under 35, about 19% say they are not yet fully decided, while among voters aged 35 and above, this proportion is 12%.

The survey also shows that only about half of young voters say they are very motivated to vote in November, or consider voting very important, a proportion lower than older voters.

However, the survey also found that Harris's young supporters are more likely than Trump's young supporters to say they are very motivated to vote. Young female voters also consider voting "very important" more than male voters.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that this young voting group has a strong criticism of the recent presidents. About 57% believe the Trump administration has failed, while 67% believe Biden has failed. Moreover, more of Harris's supporters believe that the best days of the United States are yet to come, rather than being in the past.

As for the focus of this election, Harris's and Trump's young supporters also show differences: the former focus more on protecting democracy, choosing reproductive rights as the primary issue for this election; while the latter follow Republican concerns, prioritizing the economy as their main issue.
