Anything can happen, but so far it's a pipe dream that young men voting will "fall short." With the GOP, so far between 20% and 25% of ALL early voters are first time/low propensity voters. This would be many of those young men. They are coming out for Trump like crazy. Second, the exodus is real. You can see not just thoughtful liberals like Ruy saying this but the crazies are already calling them "Nazis." (A sure way to win them back). In particular, Trump will take a good 20% of the black male vote---it may be much higher, and polls so, but no pollster will go out on a limb because in the past that cohort has over-polled. But speaking of overpolling, Trump overpolls by 2.1%, so whatever the numbers for him, they are low---in ALL categories, including young men.
Is it possible that the younger generations are starting to believe what they see, as opposed to what they read/hear?
Why are all these minorities supporting a racist, don't they know, why are they mimicking his dancing, and they look happy? Why are all these mothers and grandmothers supporting a misogynist, don't they know? Why didn't the Biden admin consistently and strongly denounce defund the police, sure anything run by humans can be improved, but less police is better, not in my neighborhood? Why was the economy better for me prior to COVID during his first term? Why did Biden tell me all those jobs that were lost because of lockdowns, etc, that came back after COVID, were created by his administration without the proper acknowledgment, how dumb do they think we are? Why, would I ever endorse men competing in women's sports and occupying women's spaces, my sister just lost out on a scholarship for goodness sakes? Why, on God's green earth, would I seek to confuse and ruin children's lives, by supporting gender affirming care for minors (Kamala doesn't support that, really, see title IX changes, can't tell parents they are playing the pronoun game), surely with nearly the entire world and half the states banning it, says something? Why is the DEI this administration has pushed to all aspects of government including the military antithetical to meritocracy, don't we always want the most qualified person for something, I'm so sick of being told to see everything through the prism of race, I thought they liked MLK? Ok, I get it, you think he's a threat to Democracy, but Hitler, really, again, how dumb do they think we are? Last I looked, his justice department wasn't working with local prosecutors to jail political threats, on 'Trumped' up charges, I'm sorry who was the victim in the NY case that made this worthy of spending tax payer money on?
And on, and on, and . . .
Rejoice always, pray unceasingly and in everything give thanks!
It is actually "gruesome" watching from afar, mainstream US media and election commentary. I'm writing from a long term ally of the US. Your public deficit debt servicing already is 100% of US GDP. That's the value of the entire US annual production of goods and services engaged in servicing the current level of public debt. The former President continually talks up increased tariffs that are likely to add circa $3-5K in additional annual cost of living on the part of average US families. US tariffs are a cost on US consumers - not a source of revenue. The former President is talking up additional tax cuts that will only serve to increase the debt servicing burden. How high does the debt servicing ratio need to go before holders of US Treasury bonds demand an increased apyment for covering the increased risk?
What I don't understand is why Moms with boys aren't more moved to vote for the best interest of the most aligned group in America - males. The new dems are pretty clear that they are specifically looking for a "new" type of male - one that will raise women not to equal status, but to special status. No woman I've ever met actually respects a man that grovels. It's icky.

I don’t bother to read polls anymore. You can find one for just about any direction you want.
