This Change Research poll of MI is wild:

This same trend appears in every single swing state poll I& #39;ve seen:
-Biden is crushing Trump among moderate older voters
-Trump has a small minority of younger voters
-Biden is still way underperforming Clinton among younger voters
In other words, Biden WOULD be blowing out Trump by historic margins, except he can& #39;t seem to motivate young people, who overwhelmingly went for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren over him in the primary
The crazy thing is, it& #39;s not like those voters are going for Trump. They& #39;re saying they& #39;re "not sure" or "won& #39;t vote" or want to vote third party. They& #39;re there for the taking, if Biden can find a way to excite them.
Think about how ridiculous it is that Biden is getting the same share of voters under 35 and over 65. There is usually a HUGE age gap in American politics - for Clinton, the spread was 10 points! If Biden could produce a similar age gap, he& #39;d be leading by over 6 instead of 3
One last thing here to note: for all the sturm und drang today, Biden is currently running 1 point behind 2016 among black voter (so is Trump). That represents a .1% decline in Biden& #39;s vote, while his weakness among young voters is causing a decline 15 times as large.
