john della volpe with us. we are splitting the phone numbers by age. 18-29, 202-748-8000. 30-50, 202-748-8001. over 50, 202-748-8002. go ahead and start calling in. john della volpe, what we just talked about in terms of preference for candidates and how kamala harris is doing with young voters, can you square that with this headline about this year's harvard youth poll? the share of young american men who say they identify with select political ideologies shows young american men are much more conservative among 18 to 24-year-olds. 26% say they identify as conservative to the 22% who say they identify as liberal. another 48% say they are moderate. guest: that is one of the most important things from this research and other research over the last couple of years. we noted relative to 2020, the last presidential cycle, has been a net 20-point shift among younger men. i think they were nine points less likely to identify as democrats. 11 points more likely to identify as republicans. that is a significant shift i

host: john della volpe. guest: yeah.e of things, we don't know whether republicans or democrats wl, you know, le the senate, one, but i think the other point is, let's look at what young people, as i id, voted in record numbers in 20, 60% voted for joe biden. when i asked people back in 2019, 2020, why they were voting, they mentioned three issues predominantly. they talkedbout ccerns about their debt, they taed about concerns about climate they talk about concerns related to gun violence, and we have an extremy divided nation, clearly has been difficult to move things through congress. i think that young people, i think the bidenere is administration actually delivered -- biden-harris administration actually delivered, whether you appro or not, they delivered much of what was promised. i believe the last i saw come over 160, $170illion h been approved, deste the fact that the supreme court ruled one of biden's plans was not actually imemented still through other actions, 170 billion dollars. he obviously has a large inv

and john della volpe is joining us now, he's an msnbc political contributor. lly interesting. i want to talk more about this campaign, the bro whispering campaign as you call it. you write trump cultivated relationships with some comedians, pranksters, influencers in silicon valley, billionaires like elon musk, all while his team bombards podcasts and social media with misinformation and memes to rally his troops. talk to us about the scale of this operation and how it is working. >> well, the first part is, ana, it is working, because what happened is we see that was once a 19-point margin that democrats held in 2020 among younger voters who are men, we find that is cut roughly in half to nine points. i think it is more likely than not that kamala harris wins the younger male vote, but all a question of margin, especially in a razor thin election. more importantly, the way in which he has done this is that he -- he actually went out and found young people where they are and what we found in many years of tracking youth attitudes in the harvard youth poll is th

john della volpe bay, who was a biden pollster, but it's also polls for harvard young people particular wrote this interesting piece for the new york times talking about young men. and he says this, today's young men are lonelier than ever, have inherited a world rifle skepticism toward the institutions designed to promote and defend american ideals like we were just talking about, men under 30, nearly twice as likely to be single as women, their age, gen z men less likely to enroll in college or the working for some previous generations they have higher rates of suicide. there are less likely than their female peers to achieve receive treatment for mental health. mr. trump has tapped these anxieties by weaving a hyper-masculine message of strength and defiance in his broader narrative that undermines confidence in democratic institutions. and it's working. do you agree with him? is it working to a great degree? >> yes. but let's look at the whole picture. young women think that kamala harris is their hero, that she represents what they want to be at some point in their lifetime. and he
