Support for the Democratic Party is dropping among young voters, according to a new survey.
Commentator Brett Cooper says many in her generation feel the party no longer reflects their values and that aging leaders like Sen. Dick Durbin, who recently announced his retirement, leave young people feeling unrepresented. A recent Harvard poll showed only 23% of young voters approve of congressional Democrats, down from 42% in 2017. Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is gaining traction, with a new poll showing her leading Sen. Chuck Schumer in a potential 2028 primary matchup. Many young voters want stronger opposition to Trump and are frustrated with both extremes of the party.
