A new poll commissioned by the Young America’s Foundation found that the economy is the number one concern for college and high school students as President Joe Biden remains unpopular among the demographic.
The poll, conducted by Echelon Insights, found that high school and college students overwhelmingly see the economy as the top concern, more than issues like abortion or the climate. The survey examined the views of 821 high school students and 804 college students from June 4 to June 9.
Of those surveyed, 44% of college students and 48% of high school students said the economy was their number one concern. In 2020, college students were a crucial demographic for Biden with an estimated 61% of young people (ages 18-29) casting a vote for Biden.
