    Yet another article about the same polls. How about the fact that dems outperformed all polling expectations in the elections this week?

    Also, a poll 1 year out means almost nothing. Even right after Bernie lost, I said I’d never support Hilary and would vote 3rd party. Then I realized I was being young and dumb and actually turned out to vote.

      Absolutely. A lot of misinformation shows up in polls and statistics far ahead of an election. It’s free to air your grievances in a poll. Makes no difference. When push comes to shove, young voters will come out to vote for Biden if he’s the Democratic nominee.

      I wrote in Bernie but that’s because the state I lived in went for Clinton by like 80 points.

      Dems over-performed polling in 2018, 2020, 2022, and now 2023. But sure, this poll has its fingers on the pulse of the young people.
