Poll: Harris has massive lead among swing state college students

www.axios.com

Just a moment...

Vice President Harris has a 50-point lead over former President Trump among two- and four-year college students in the seven swing states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada, according to a new Generation Lab poll.

Why it matters: It’s a commanding lead that could even swing the results in some of these key states, depending on turnout among this youngest contingent of voters.

Hopefully they actually vote.
- A lot of them are way more motivated than millennials or gen X
  
  We'll see. Gen Z - show us up in our dumb old faces. Are zoomers just the new boomers?
  (What other phrases can i use to goad more zoomers into actually going to the voting booth?)
  
  Historically, they are the largest group and have the lowest turn out.
- We can do a bit better than just hope, there is still time to volunteer to help get out the vote today and tomorrow on election day!

- Young women. One shouldn't underestimate the incel vote.
If they show up. Have done phone-banking. Hard to beat apathy.
Go out and vote!!!!
"This revelation just in, young academics tend to be progressive!"
She can’t compete with Trump’s lead amongst the stupids though
- there's just so damn many of them.
  
  Almost as though public education has been under attack for decades
Pennsylvania has more than 200 colleges or universities in the state. They range from giants like Penn State to small liberal arts colleges like Lebanon Valley. It is a sizable voting population. AOC campaigned at Penn State and a few other colleges.
Well this didn't age well.
- Definitely not. I hope the younger generations learn their lesson and learn to to actually show up to vote if they get the chance to vote again. I'm not holding my breath.
Sounds cute, but in the US electoral system having a "massive lead" among a state's {subset} of {subset} matters exactly zero. All that matters is having the lead in the whole state proper.
They didn't vote
- Why are we pussies though?
  
  It’s a 5 day old edgelord account.
- Reddit was made for this kind of baggadouchery
