A newly released KSTP/Survey USA poll shows that Trump is dominating the 18-34 year old vote over incumbent Joe Biden, 54% to 25%. This is usually a reliable demographic for the Democrats, but Trump appears to be surging amongst America’s youth.
When factoring in all ages, Trump and Biden are in a statistical dead heat when accounting for the polls 4.9 pct margin of error. The sample size polled was 608 likely general election voters in Minnesota.
Here’s the poll:
What the Minnesota polls shows is in line with what other polls are showing around the country and many pundits are starting to take notice. Vox’s Democratic Party reporter, Christian Paz, observes: “Biden is not only losing ground; Trump is gaining support. That’s an especially surprising result for the famously progressive and Democratic-leaning youth vote. What gives?”
None of this is surprising us here at Truth Hurts News. The youth do not turn to the mainstream, corporate media for their news. Instead, they get their news from new media and popular social influencers who are skewing far more conservative that those in the legacy, corporate media.
