Harvard's big @harvardiop poll of young Americans is out today, and the findings are striking (thread)

First of all: Biden has the highest favorability among 18-29 year olds of any first-term President in the entire history of the poll. Higher than Obama. That's huge.
Much of that favorability comes from support from young people of color.

In 2017, only 17% of young Black Americans felt hopeful about the future. Now: 72% feel hopeful. A FIFTY-FOUR point increase
AND young Americans are significantly more politically engaged now than at any time over the past decade.

In 2009, 24% of young ppl considered themselves politically active- that has now increased by HALF, to 36%. (Among young Black people, more than 40% are politically active)
Trump has a net unfavorable of 65% with people under 30. A full 30% believe he was the WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.

Only 56% of young Republicans said they want Trump to play a role in the future of the GOP. 42% of young Rs say they ID more as Rs than as Trump supporters
