    Yes. I don’t have surveys specifically of college students but that’s what I extrapolate from the relationship between income and Trump support in the population as a whole.

    Edit: The best I can find on short notice specifically about young people shows that those worried about money were strong supporters of Trump, but this is not a survey of only college students.

    Young people who chose issues like racism, abortion, and climate change as their top priority in the 2024 election were the most likely to support Harris. However, 40% of youth chose the economy and jobs as their top priority—by far the highest of any issue, and those youth voted for Trump by a more than 22-point margin.
