According to a new survey from CNBC and Generation Lab, young Americans are banking on Kamala Harris, US VP and Presidential Candidate of the Democratic Party to fix the economy of the country.
A recent Youth & Money Survey, conducted after Biden exited the race in July, shows that 69% of Americans aged 18-34 believe the economy worsened under his presidency.
However, when asked who could best improve the economy, 41% favored Harris, compared to 40% who supported Trump.
Another 19% believed someone else, like third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., would be better.
This marks a seven-point swing in favor of Democrats since May, when only 34% believed Biden was best for the economy, with 40% choosing Trump and 25% preferring Kennedy.
Overall, if the election were held today, Harris would lead Trump among younger voters by 12 points (46% to 34%), while 21% would back Kennedy or another candidate.
This is a significant increase in support for Harris, especially considering the economy’s importance to younger voters.
