Here's the results from that youth poll the Axios article doesn't mention:
The poll also finds:
A significant enthusiasm gap between young Democrats and Republicans, with 74% of young Democrats saying they will "definitely" vote, compared to 60% of young Republicans.
A widening gender gap, nearly doubling from 17 points in the Spring poll to 30 points now, with Harris leading 70% to 23% among likely female voters.
Harris outperforming Trump on key personal qualities and issues, with substantial leads in empathy (+33), relatability (+24), honesty (+22), climate change (+32), abortion (+31), health care (+26), and gun violence prevention (+25) among all young adults.
Harris's job approval as Vice President has significantly improved, increasing from 32% in the Spring poll to 44% now.
Strong support for progressive policies among young Americans, with 74% favoring capping prescription drug prices and 59% supporting a nationwide law to legalize abortion.
Overwhelming rejection of Project 2025 among young Americans, with only 6% viewing it favorably compared to 48% unfavorably. Even among Republicans, we find 14% viewing it favorably and 23% unfavorably.
The impact of social media, with 53% of young adults encountering memes about Harris online in the last month, 34% of whom say it positively influenced their opinion. Conversely, 56% have seen memes about Trump, with 26% reporting a negative impact on their perception.

Shocking, really. If a horse were running for president, and horses could vote, do you know who they would cast their vote for?
Well we didn't see that enthusiasm for Hillary so I have no idea what you're on about.
Also, and I wasn't expecting I'd have to say this today, women aren't horses. Additionally, horses are actually pretty egalitarian with their leadership; that's why they're such good allies for humans, they don't mind being led by a person instead of a horse.
Tl;Dr: every part of your comment is wrong.
Can you expand on this?
He's meat brain who thinks women only vote for women.
