A new national poll is the latest to suggest that President Biden is struggling for support with a key voting bloc in the Democratic Party's base — younger voters.

The president stands at 50%, with former President Trump, Biden's GOP challenger, at 48% among registered voters in a NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National Poll released on Thursday.

The margin narrows to one, with the incumbent at 50% and his Republican predecessor in the White House at 49%, among the narrower group of those likely to vote in the presidential election this autumn.

And in a multi-candidate field, the survey indicates Trump edging Biden 44%-40%, with Democrat turned independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at 8%, Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 3% and independent Cornel West with 2%.
