What do we know about how young people vote? Or if they plan to vote? These are the questions that run John Delavolpe's life. He's director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, which just released its youth poll for fall of 2023. My colleague David Chalien had Delavulpe on the CNN Political

Briefing podcast, and we thought you'd get a lot out of the conversation and we wanted to share

it with you. Now, we'll be back with a new episode of the assignment on Thursday. But in the meantime,

please stick around.

Hey, everyone.

I'm David Chalien, CNN's political director, and welcome to the CNN political briefing.

What do young voters think about the race to the White House in 2024?

My CNN colleague, Jeff Zellini, recently spoke to young voters in Georgia about the election and their feelings on the candidates. Let's hear what they

have to say. I do think that everyone is willing to hold the administration accountable for some of

those promises that were made. And if they don't happen, I think it's going to be a scary election.

If they can fund a war, they can find the money to pay off our student loans. We have to pick

between two different people who are very, very old and up the age.

We would like to see Biden passed a time.

Young voters were a key demographic for the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.

That is especially true in Georgia,

where Biden defeated Trump by about 11,000 votes out of nearly 5 million cast.

But as we just heard, the young people Jeff spoke to expressed a fair amount of skepticism

and apathy about this year's race. And now there's some data to back this up. A new national

Harvard youth poll found young Americans are less likely to say they're going

to vote in 2024 than they did at this point in the last presidential election cycle.

Now is that a bad warning sign for the president?

And what does it tell us about Democrats and Republicans' efforts to court young voters?
