Kamala Harris has already opened substantial lead over Trump with young voters: new poll

A recentAxios/Generation Lab poll reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys substantially higher popularity among America's youngest voters compared to President Joe Biden.

The survey, conducted entirely after Biden's withdrawal announcement on Sunday, gauged respondents' preferences in hypothetical Biden-Trump and Harris-Trump matchups.
