President Joe Biden is experiencing a significant erosion of support among young and nonwhite voters, which could jeopardize his reelection campaign. Polling data reveals that Biden is losing ground to former President Donald Trump, particularly among Black and Latino voters. In New York, even people of color are expressing positive sentiments towards Trump. Young voters, who were crucial to Biden's 2020 victory with 60% of the vote, are increasingly disillusioned, with many believing that America is in decline. This shift is evident in recent events, such as Biden's poorly attended rally in Philadelphia compared to Trump's well-received rally in the South Bronx. Analysts suggest that Biden's struggle to retain support from disengaged, young, and nonwhite voters is due to a realignment where voters with low trust in institutions are drifting right. Despite efforts to address key issues for young voters, Biden's campaign is facing a challenging landscape as the 2024 election approaches. A Blueprint poll indicates that 54% of young people believe the country is going downhill, and Biden's support among Black voters in Pennsylvania is down by 10% compared to four years ago.
