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.

Biden administration bans drilling in nearly half of Alaska petroleum reserve in sweeping win for climate advocates

cnn.com/2024/04/19/climate/alaska-drilling-ban-biden-climate/

Quick Glance: Restrictions on Oil and Gas Leasing in Alaska under Biden Administration

The Biden administration announced restrictions on new oil and gas leasing on 5.3 million hectares of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska to protect wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

The decision finalizes proposed protections that drew backlash from environmentalists last year for violating Biden's climate change pledge.

The limitation on new leasing faced opposition from Republican lawmakers who criticized the decisions as undermining national security interests.

Environmentalists praised the decision, while the oil industry labeled it as misguided and raised concerns about future developments in the reserve.
