Young men don’t just reject the Democrats. They reject the party’s most prominent face.
New Yale Youth Poll I’ll find it Donald Trump sits in a pure favor of +7 between 18-21 year old men. Meanwhile, his opponent in the 2024 presidential election, former Vice President Kamala Harris, won a net favor of -48 among the same cohort.
“Harris isn’t just unpopular,” writes Zachary Donnini, director of Young People’s voting data in Yale, “She’s radioactive with young men.”
Between 18-21 years old men:
🟢 Donald Trump: +7 Net favors (52-45)
🔴Kamala Harris: -48 Net favors (24-72)That’s a 55-point gap @yorepolling. Harris isn’t just unpopular. She is radioactive with young men.

Certainly, both in print and video, Harris releases deadly anti-charismatic. Her speeches tend to blend in with mysterious and meaningless adages. Imagine a sphinx perched on a coconut tree bewildering everyone who wants to hand over this simple riddle. Kamala’s Cackle is also perfectly suited to the evil stepmother of a child’s story, but perhaps not ideal for politicians.

Or you’d think so.
Despite “no” from the American people, Democrats can’t let Harris go out on the pasture despite all seven swing states. There are plenty of rumors about the political future of failed candidates. Will she be able to compete with Democrat Gavin Newsom, the current governor of California, in the upcoming gubernatorial election? Has she founded an Institute for Policy and Ideas? And does such lab have an opening for analysts at Vendiagram?
The biggest question remains. Will Harris begin bidding for the 2028 presidency? (Related: “Red Blinking Warning”: explains why Chris Chiliza explains the 2028 bid “Camala Harris should never do”)
Yale Youth Poll itself It shows Harris surpassing other Democrats in the fictional presidential primary. 27.5% of Democrats and Democrat voters would support Harris if the primary election took place today, polls report. The next Harris was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with 21.3% of the vote.
Harris is a terrible candidate, but Democrats have not suffered from most of the better options. There is Newsom, who was burdened by California’s longstanding impressive awful leadership. There is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez I’m having fun Good “ward salaad.”
But what will you do if it doesn’t fail upward?
