The author of this article is claiming that, while in the state of Arizona as a whole, Kamala Harris is leading in the polls, among youth voters in college, Trump is leading by about 5 points. They claim that the democrats need to work harder to gain the youth trust and vote this election.

According to the NPR article released this Wednesday, October 24th, Kamala Harris is outperforming Trump in the polls, but the momentum of young voters is slowly starting to plateau. The University of Chicago said Harris is slightly leading 47% of young voters over Trump's 35%.  

This article claims that young voters aren't showing up for Harris in the polls, which is untrue. NBC reports that half of registered voters under 30 plan to vote for Vice President Kamala. They also reported, "Young women said they’d vote for Harris over Trump by a 33-point margin. Young men were essentially even, with Harris having a 2-point lead."

Overall, this article is false. It focuses more on Arizona, which Trump is currently leading, than on the overall data shown throughout this week.
