Joe Biden’s Israel-Gaza war policy is unpopular with young voters.

Slate  

President Joe Biden has a serious age problem, and it’s not that he’s 80: It’s his dreadful standing with youth voters. Biden has continued to pledge unquestioning and total support for Israel, even as human rights groups sound the alarm about the threat of the Israeli military committing ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, humanitarian groups’ inability to deliver anything resembling sufficient aid to Gaza, and comments from Israeli military leaders that indicate a willingness to target civilians. Only 21 percent of voters under 35 say they approve of Biden’s Israel policy; 42 percent of voters across all age brackets approve. Still, if Biden does lose in 2024, and young people don’t turn out, many Democrats will be quick to blame the listless youth for not taking seriously the stakes of the election.
