Going in, young voters still didn't like Biden, which leaves him susceptible to some of these voters potentially not turning out to vote in the fall. Young voters moving toward Biden is part of the reason why Biden's national advantage has widened from about 6 points in the early spring to about 9 points todayBut even as younger voters prefer Biden to Trump, it's not clear at all that they actually like Biden. Indeed, the difference between vote choice and net favorability among young voters is striking. Not surprisingly, younger voters are also less enthusiastic to vote and say they are less certain to vote than older voters in November, which follows historical precedent . Still, this data does show the potential problem of Biden relying on young voters disliking Trump as the mechanism for getting them to vote for Biden in November.
