Most Young Voters Say Democracy Is Failing

A new Harvard Institute of Politics poll of 18- to 29-year olds finds 52% said democracy in the United States is either failing or in trouble.

The concern spans the ideological spectrum, with 45% of Democrats, 70% of Republicans and 51% of unaffiliated voters agreeing.

Meanwhile, President Biden’s approval numbers among young voters have taken a 13-point hit since the spring, with just 46% now approving of his job performance.
