The upcoming US presidential election sees young voters becoming a critical demographic due to their concerns over economic issues such as inflation, housing, and job creation. Many young voters, like Isabella Morris, express feeling economically stressed and are tuning into candidates' messages focusing on these issues. Polls indicate that economic growth, income inequality, and poverty are top priorities for voters aged 18-26, contrasting with the pandemic and social justice themes of the previous election. Both presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, are intensifying their economic messages to appeal to this demographic, with recent polls showing Harris holding a significant lead among young likely voters.
