Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Quick Glance: Investigation of Key Bridge Incident

The FBI has initiated a criminal investigation focusing on the colossal container vessel that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month.

Authorities are examining the sequence of events that led to the Dali, a 985-foot Singaporean ship, losing power as it departed from the Port of Baltimore and colliding with one of the bridge's support pillars.

Federal agents appeared to have boarded the ship on Monday morning to conduct a search.

President Biden and Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) have expressed their commitment to hold accountable any entities potentially responsible for the bridge's destruction.

Bears trade Justin Fields to Steelers, clear way to take a QB such as Caleb Williams with No. 1 pick

Quick Glance: Bears Trade Justin Fields to Steelers, Pave Way for Promising Quarterback

The trade of Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears to the Pittsburgh Steelers cleared the path to potentially draft USC's Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.

Fields is expected to serve as the backup for nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Steelers.

Chicago missed out on a significant opportunity by not trading the first pick for a substantial return.

The historically quarterback-challenged Bears seldom have the chance to select a talent like Williams.
