'Shock and corruption of Trump has worn off' — and he's winning over new voters: columnist

President Joe Biden has a problem with younger voters, and some of them are turning to Donald Trump, according to a new report.

New polling finds the current president trailing the former president in key battleground states, and voters are being seen not to be receptive to Biden's messaging on the economy or the threat Trump poses to democracy and reproductive rights, reported The Bulwark columnist A.B. Stoddard.

"So who are the voters being newly persuaded by Trump?" Stoddard wrote. "These potential new swing voters are not MAGA, they aren’t pumped for the release of the J6 tapes, and they don’t give a passing thought to the outrages of Hunter Biden."

"They are nonwhite, young, and independent, and they trust Trump more on the economy, foreign policy, and immigration."

Voters are feeling a disconnect between reports of job growth and lower inflation, and the prices and high-interest rates preventing them from buying what they want or need, Stoddard said. He also warned that Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war has badly dented his chances for re-election.

"While the Democrats' erosion with Black and Hispanic voters became undeniable in 2020, the flight of young voters to Trump is a stunning and pivotal development," Stoddard wrote.

"Some young progressives are critical of Biden’s posture in the Israel/Hamas war and are threatening to withhold their support because of it. And while those young voters now choosing Trump in surveys may not ultimately vote for him, they are ripe targets for third-party candidates, and their discontent is likely to remain a durable problem for Biden."

Biden's team has responded to these developments by stressing the danger Trump poses to democracy and abortion rights, but Stoddard worries that won't be enough to save him.

"The shock and corruption of Trump has worn off for most Americans," the columnist wrote. "And right now, with too many voters, he is winning the argument."
