Older Republicans cite Ronald Reagan or even the Bush Family….
But?
That was back in the day….
Even reporter now do NOT mention old school Republicans except in passing….
When issues are included in polls?
Joe Biden gets the vote across the board….
(Biden and Democrats are quietly praying for this)
But for basic simple party questions?
Young Republican voters often pick Trump as their choice accepting Trump’s entertaining actions as a ‘normal’….
Mr. Trump’s victory, to supporters and detractors alike, represented a profound break with politics as usual in the United States. People who voted against him feared he would turn the American presidency upside down. People who voted for him hoped he would.
But for the youngest Trump supporters participating in their first presidential election this year, Mr. Trump represents something that is all but impossible for older voters to imagine: the normal politics of their childhood.
Charlie Meyer, a 17-year-old high school student who volunteered at a Trump rally in Green Bay, Wis., last month, said he was first drawn to Mr. Trump at 13, during his presidency, because of his views on abortion, which resonated with his own as a Christian.
He has little memory of pre-Trump politics. “I was too young at the time,” he said.
Although President Biden continues to lead among 18- to 29-year-olds in most polls, several surveys in recent weeks show Mr. Trump performing much more strongly with young voters than he was at the same point in 2020, and more strongly than he was against Mrs. Clinton at the same point in 2016.
In the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, from last month, Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden were neck and neck among 18- to 29-year-olds. In the latest Harvard Youth Poll, conducted in March by the Harvard Institute of Politics, Mr. Trump trails by eight points.
“He’s not anywhere close to actually winning,” said John Della Volpe, the Harvard poll’s director, who polled young voters for the Biden campaign in 2020, when Mr. Biden ultimately beat Mr. Trump among 18- to 29-year-olds by 24 points. But “he’s doing as well as any other Republican nominee at this stage of an election since 2012, and that’s meaningful.”
Mr. Della Volpe and other pollsters note that these findings come with a wealth of caveats. Mr. Trump’s relatively good standing with young voters is at odds with their broadly liberal views on most issues, which have led them to favor Democratic candidates for decades.
In polls like Harvard’s, Mr. Biden performs much more strongly among registered or likely voters than he does in polls of all adults, suggesting that he is weakest with those least interested in the race. Young people, who are often late in following elections, appear to be especially disengaged from this year’s race, a contest between two familiar candidates in their 70s and 80s….
