Hurricane Helene live updates: Storm now a dangerous Category 3 as it nears Florida
What we know about hurricane helene.
- Helene is currently a major Category 3 hurricane with wind speeds of 120 mph. It is expected to make landfall on Florida's Big Bend this evening, bringing the risk of devastating damage.
- The storm was 170 miles southwest of Tampa as of 2:30 p.m. ET, traveling northeast at 16 mph.
FEMA Director Deanne Criswell said this afternoon that forecasts suggest Hurricane Helene will make a “dead-on hit to Tallahassee.”
- A storm surge warning is in place for almost the entirety of Florida's west coast, where surging waters described as "unsurvivable" could reach as high as 20 feet in places.
- Hurricane and tropical storm warnings are in place across coastal areas of southern Florida. The National Hurricane Center said: "Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion."
- A state of emergency has been declared in 61 of Florida's 67 counties and several are under evacuation orders.
Florida's 'oldest restaurant' closes as Helene approaches
Corky Siemaszko
The iconic Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, which bills itself as Florida's "Oldest Restaurant," announced Thursday it was shutting down "temporarily" due to Hurricane Helene.
The Cuban eatery, which has anchored the lively Ybor City neighborhood since 1905, said on its website it was closing its doors "out of concern for our staff and guests as Helene approaches."
The restaurant also closed it's spinoff in Sarasota on Thursday, a day after it shuttered its namesake restaurant on Clearwater Beach and its cafe at the Tampa Bay History Center.
All locations are expected to reopen on Friday morning, the company said on its website.
Founded by a Cuban immigrant named Casimiro Hernandez Sr., the restaurant is run by his descendants. The last time it closed due to a storm was in 2022 when Hurricane Ian roared into the region .
'This is a death threat': Sheriff warns hundreds could die if they don't evacuate
Jesse Kirsch
Reporting from Perry, Florida
A Florida sheriff is warning hundreds of residents that they are putting their lives at risk if they don’t evacuate low-lying areas because the region could see a historic 20-foot storm surge from Hurricane Helene.
Taylor County Sheriff Wayne Padgett told NBC News today the residents who are refusing to evacuate low-lying areas by the coastline, about 200 people, could very well die.
“If you’re just bound and determined to stay and not get out of harm’s way, go and take a black magic marker, write your name, your Social Security number, everything on your arm and we can identify you. I don’t like telling people that, but it is going on,” Padgett said.
“That’s a death threat because you’re looking at, they’re calling for 18- or 20-foot storm surge," he continued. "We’ve never had a storm surge like this in this county. These old houses, some of them on this coast, have been there for years and years and years, and they’re just not going to stand up to it. The water — you can kind of hide from the wind — but you can’t hide from that water.”
“I’ve lived here my whole life, and I’ve never been worried about a storm," Padgett said. "I am worried about this storm.”
Taylor County is in northern Florida near the Big Bend region.
The county is also about 60 miles south of Leon County, where Tallahassee is and where Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall tonight.
'Pray for the best': Tallahassee area restaurant owner braces for destruction
Reporting from Panacea, Florida
Jon Turner, owner of The Salty Donkey in Panacea, near Tallahassee, was seen packing up his restaurant this afternoon amid pounding rain and howling wind.
“We’re just going to prepare for the worst, obviously, and hope for the best, and pray for the best,” Turner told NBC News.
“I’ve been here three months. I love this place, I love this community,” he said, noting the restaurant had also been damaged in Hurricane Michael in 2018. “If it tears up, we’ll rebuild and try again.”
During Michael, he said, water was “about 4 feet deep, maybe 5.”
“It’s a tough situation for us. We want everybody to get out, be safe, do what they need to do to be safe,” Turner said. He's been preparing for days, removing all his kitchen equipment and storing perishables in a refrigerator trailer donated by a family member.
This upcoming weekend was “supposed to be a big money weekend for us” with a local blue crab festival, Turner said.
“We had bands booked Friday, Saturday, Sunday," he said. "As a new restaurant owner these are the weekends that get you through the winter months … Obviously we keep on, do the best we can to keep going.”
Tampa Bay-area bridges already swamped by Helene
Hurricane Helene is still hundreds of miles from Florida, but it's effects are already being felt in and around Tampa where bridges connecting the city to Pinellas County have been swamped all day.
Footage obtained by the Tampa Bay Times show waves churned up by the storm splashing over the guardrails and onto the Howard Frankland Bridge, turning the morning commute into a soggy slog.
As of 3 p.m. ET, drivers heading east or west were still able to cross that bridge as well as the Gandy Bridge and the Courtney Campbell Causeway, the newspaper reported.
More than 100K without power in Florida as Hurricane Helene heads toward landfall
Antonio Planas
More than 100,000 customers were without power in Florida as Hurricane Helene made its way toward landfall this afternoon.
As of shortly before 3:15 p.m., 107,076 customers were without power, according to a power outage map of the state . The majority of the impact occurred in South Florida along its west coast and east coast.
Some of the counties that have the most customers without power include Miami-Dade, with 16,552; Sarasota, with 15,896; Collier, with 12,961; Charlotte, with 12,191 and Lee with 10,333.
Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall near Tallahassee this evening.
Helene's 'catastrophic' impacts will continue as storm moves inland
Denise Chow
Hurricane Helene is expected to weaken after it makes landfall, but the storm’s impacts will still be significant as it moves inland.
Michael Brennan, director of the National Hurricane Center, said there is the potential for “catastrophic flash flooding” in parts of the Florida Panhandle and southwestern Georgia.
The storm is expected to dump substantial rain over Atlanta and as it passes into northeastern Georgia, South Carolina and western North Carolina, raising the risk of “catastrophic and life-threatening” flooding.
“As the tropical moisture associated with Helene is pushed up the southeastward-facing mountains of the southern Appalachians, we can see widespread rainfall totals 6 to 12 inches — some isolated areas as high as 18 inches — in this region,” Brennan said. “And that’s going to create the potential for very significant flash flooding.”
The southern Appalachians, in particular, will also be at risk for landslides, he added.
Helene may be ‘most intense and destructive storm’ in Tallahassee’s history, mayor says
Hurricane Helene is expected to strengthen before making landfall in Florida tonight. Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey joins José Díaz-Balart, saying his city is “preparing for the worst.”
Helene becomes 'dangerous' major hurricane
Marlene Lenthang
Helene has strengthened into a Category 3 major hurricane.
Air Force hurricane hunters found the maximum sustained winds have increased to 120 mph, the National Hurricane Center said around 2:30 p.m. ET. A Category 3 hurricane has wind speeds ranging from 111 to 129 mph.
The NHC called the storm ‘dangerous’ and said further strengthening is expected before Helene makes landfall in the Big Bend this evening.
Sunshine Skyway Bridge closes ahead of Helene amid 60 mph wind gusts
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which connects Pinellas County to Manatee County in the Lower Tampa Bay, was closed this afternoon by the Florida Highway Patrol.
The agency cited deteriorating weather conditions and 60 mph wind gusts for the closure.
“Motorists are requested to seek alternate routes, do not drive through flooded roads & unless absolutely necessary stay off area roadways,” FHP said.
Space station cameras spot Helene from orbit
Cameras on the exterior of the International Space Station captured jaw-dropping views of Hurricane Helene from space, showing the storm’s eye and huge wall of clouds.
The space station passed near, but not directly overhead, of Helene and beamed back footage from an altitude of 260 miles above Earth.
Helene just shy of Category 3 status
Helene is nearly a major hurricane, with 110 mph maximum sustained winds.
A Category 3 hurricane has winds ranging from 111-129 mph. Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for damage and loss of life.
It’s now 195 miles southwest of Tampa, moving northeast at 16 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 2 p.m. advisory.
Watch the damage Hurricane Helene caused in Cancun
Hurricane Helene left flooded streets, empty beaches, downed trees and travel disruption after it swept past Cancun, Mexico, on its way to Florida.
FEMA director: Helene expected to make 'dead-on' hit to Tallahassee
She reminded people in the path of Hurricane Helene that they should not underestimate the storm’s threats. “This is going to be a multistate event with the potential for significant impacts from Florida all the way to Tennessee,” Criswell said in a White House briefing.
Criswell outlined FEMA’s efforts to prepare for the storm, which include deploying resources, search and rescue teams, and other personnel to assist with disaster preparedness and response across Florida and Georgia.
She added that President Joe Biden has directed her to travel to affected areas tomorrow to assess the damage. Criswell urged people to take the storm seriously and heed warnings that are in place.
“You need to listen to your local officials,” she said. “If they tell you to evacuate, please do so. And if they tell you to shelter in place, then that’s what you should do. They’re going to give you the best information that you can do for your specific situation. Those decisions can save lives.”
How destructive is a Category 4 hurricane?
Patrick Smith Patrick Smith is a London-based editor and reporter for NBC News Digital.
The short answer: They are catastrophic.
Hurricanes are measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale , which rates storms from 1 to 5 based on their wind speed, where 5 is the strongest and most devastating. Hurricane Helene is currently a Category 2 storm, with wind speeds of 100 mph.
The National Hurricane Center forecasts that Hurricane Helene would reach wind speeds of 115 mph, which would make it a Category 3 storm.
At Category 3, you can expect well-built homes to incur major damage, trees to be snapped or uprooted, and electricity and water to be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
But it is expected to strengthen further, and if Helene is upgraded to a Category 4 storm, this would mean "a high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse," the NHC says.
Things could be so bad that the affected areas would be without power and uninhabitable for months.
Florida braces as Helene is expected to strengthen before landfall
Tornado warnings have been issued and flash flooding is already being seen ahead of Hurricane Helene.
The storm is expected to deliver winds topping 125 mph and a potentially deadly storm surge at landfall.
Students at Florida State University seek shelter on campus
Daniella Silva
Reporting from Tallahassee, Florida
Florida State University students who live off campus sought shelter at their school this morning, ahead of Hurricane Helene’s expected landfall later today as a destructive Category 3 or 4 storm.
FSU opened a refuge facility for off-campus students at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center this morning, where students with backpacks, white garbage bags full of belongings, suitcases and pillows began to stream in as rain fell.
“I was going to stay at my apartment, but as soon as it turned into Category 4, I decided to come over here,” Pranav Sahani, a senior who lives in an apartment in the area, told NBC News. “I’ve been in hurricanes in Florida before, but not a Category 4.”
He brought a full backpack, blanket, food and “a bunch of video games” with him, he said.
Sahani, 26, said that as the storm picks up later today, he felt he would be safer at the school refuge center than at home.
“I trust this building more than my apartment,” he said.
Sophomores Maya Malouin and Nitya Katwala were afraid of losing power at their apartment and sought shelter on campus after their roommates also left ahead of the storm.
“There’s going to be security here, police. It feels safer,” Malouin, 19, said.
James Wass, a junior, said he decided to leave his apartment after seeing that the storm could reach Category 3 or 4 and seeing his parents being very concerned for his safety.
“I don’t want them to worry about me,” he said.
Wass considered driving to Gainesville but chose to move on campus instead.
He said he has seen big storms during his time at FSU but “not a hurricane like this.”
Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey said that the city is making preparations to secure everyone’s safety, including its large population of students from Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Tallahassee State College.
“We have a student population of about 70,000” and have been working with those institutions, Dailey said. “Yesterday, they shut down the college campuses. We have encouraged the students to go home to be safe. Those students that will be remaining, we have great shelters in place where they can also go to be safe.”
Dailey said he had been in touch with both the governor’s office and the White House ahead of the storm.
Storm surge from Helene could be 'unsurvivable' along Florida's west coast
Hurricane Helene is gaining speed as it charges toward Florida’s Big Bend region, with multiple “life-threatening” hazards expected over the next 12 to 24 hours, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.
In some of the hardest-hit spots on the west coast of Florida, storm surge could reach up to 20 feet, creating an “unsurvivable scenario” along those coastlines, Michael Brennan, director of the NHC, said in a live broadcast shortly after 11 a.m. ET.
Helene is currently about 255 miles southwest of Tampa and is moving north at around 14 mph.
“That speed is going to increase to over 20 mph by the time Helene makes landfall later this evening,” Brennan said.
Brennan said the hurricane will undergo “steady or rapid intensification” before making landfall, but added that substantial rainfall is already lashing parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
Helene 'a very large hurricane,' tropical-storm-force winds extend nearly 350 miles outward
Helene is now 255 miles southwest of Tampa, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, moving northeast at 14 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 11 a.m. advisory.
It’s forecast to make landfall this evening. Afterward, Helene is forecast to turn northwestward and slow down over the Tennessee Valley tomorrow and Saturday, the NHC said.
"Helene is a very large hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 345 miles," the weather service said.
Crews already repairing lines as rain from Helene pelts Florida
CRAWFORDVILLE, Fla. — Crews in Crawfordville, just south of Tallahassee, were seen this morning already repairing power lines amid pouring rain as Helene churned closer to the coast.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said this morning the state will have 30,000 linemen staged to restore power after the hurricane passes.
JD Vance advises people in danger zones to 'get out now!'
Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the running mate of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has urged anyone still in the areas expected to be affected most by storm surges in Florida and Georgia to leave.
"Say a prayer for our friends in Florida and Georgia who are bracing for what seems to be a very bad storm," he said on X this morning.
Vance cancelled two campaign events in Georgia today.
Streets turn into rivers on Florida's Treasure Island
Flooding has already taken over Treasure Island, a barrier island in Pinellas County in the Gulf of Mexico.
The city shared video today showing streets inundated with floodwaters as Helene draws near.
A storm surge warning, tropical storm warning, hurricane watch, flood and tornado watch are in effect for the county, with 4 to 7 feet of storm surge inundation forecast across coastal areas of the county tonight.
"Elevated coastal waters are forecast to last 24 to 36 hours into Friday evening," the city warned.
DeSantis: 'Nobody in recent memory has seen a storm of this magnitude'
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a storm briefing this morning that northern Florida "has not had a major hurricane hit in quite some time, and certainly nobody in recent memory has seen a storm of this magnitude."
The governor said Helene's effects are already being felt in the southern part of the state. Overnight, there were 14 different tornado warnings with more likely today.
Florida has 3,500 soldiers ready to respond to the storm, 200 Florida Highway Patrol troopers are ready to deploy, and the Florida Department of Transportation has 550 generators and 40 large pumps ready to remove water from low-lying areas.
Thus far 80 health care facilities, hospitals, assisted living facilities and nursing homes have reported various levels of evacuations, DeSantis said. Shelters are open and all counties are required to have at least one pet friendly shelter.
The expected impact of Hurricane Helene: Storm surges, flooding and high winds
Kathryn Prociv
As Helene swirls closer, here are some forecast impacts:
Storm surge: Catastrophic storm surge of up to 10 to 20 feet in the Big Bend will travel 10 to 25 miles inland depending on river locations. Tampa Bay and Cedar Key could see record high water levels. Up to 20 feet of storm surge is forecast for Carrabelle to Suwannee River.
Flooding rainfall: Life-threatening river and flash flooding is likely from Florida to the Carolinas. Up to 20 inches of rain is possible for areas under high risk for flash flooding through tonight including Apalachicola, Tallahassee and Asheville.
Wind threat: Extreme wind damage is likely from the Florida coast along the I-95 corridor into Tennessee, with widespread power outages likely. Gusts as high as 110 mph are forecast for Tallahassee.
Video shows Hurricane Helene’s winds pummeling Florida’s Marco Island
Heavy winds and rain battered Marco Island, Florida, ahead of Hurricane Helene’s expected landfall in Florida later today. Helene was forecast to rapidly strengthen and could become a Category 3 or 4 storm.
Helene forecast to intensify into a Category 3 storm by this afternoon
Helene is expected to intensify into a major Category 3 hurricane by this afternoon and continue to intensify until it makes landfall tonight between 8 and 11 p.m. on the Big Bend of Florida.
At landfall, it’s expected to be a borderline Category 3/Category 4 hurricane with winds around 125 mph.
A tornado watch is in place for most of the Florida Peninsula until 8 p.m. ET. A tornado has already been reported this morning near the border of Georgia and South Carolina. Tornado watches will expand later today into parts of those states. Forty-two million are under flood watches from Florida to Virginia including the metro areas of Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis.
Flash flood risk will increase overnight as Helene pushes inland, with parts of the Big Bend and southern Appalachians under a high risk.
Pinellas County Sheriff: 'We got a problem. People aren't listening.'
In Pinellas County, near Tampa on Florida's west coast, officials chastised locals who defied mandatory evacuation orders for people living in "Zone A" near the shoreline.
"We got a problem and the problem is way that too many people in Zone A aren’t listening. We’ve been out there this morning, there’s still way too many people in the areas covered by upper Tampa Bay, on Tampa Bay itself, on the East Side and out there in there barrier islands," Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said this morning.
He said that flooding has already been reported in the area, warning: "It’s going to reach a point where you’ve got 8 ft of water with wave action. It’s just too dangerous. So now’s the time."
Cathie Perkins, director of Pinellas County Emergency Management, warned locals to brace for 5 to 8 feet of storm surge — “that’s enough to sweep your car away and potentially kill people.”
"Dalia was four feet ... where we had over 1,500 homes in Pinellas County flood. We are talking about peak surge of up to 10 feet. This is much higher than what we had for Idalia. So for those of you that stayed in place in the A Zone, this is not the same story. You need to get out of Zone A period," she said.
Huge area at risk from hurricane conditions and tropical storm-force winds
An experimental graphic from the National Hurricane Center shows just how large an area will be affected with severe weather from Hurricane Helene, which extends well beyond the "cone" or central part of the storm.
Floridians prepare as Hurricane Helene approaches
People fill sandbags ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Helene in Clearwater, Florida, on Wednesday.
Helene becomes at Category 2 hurricane
Helene is now a Category 2 hurricane, churning with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph.
“Significant additional strengthening” is forecast before landfall in Florida, the National Hurricane Center warned in an 8 a.m. advisory .

Students on Big Bend campuses take shelter
Students and staff who live on campus at Florida State University in Tallahassee were told to relocate to the Turnbull Conference Center “to wait out the hurricane” and that they are not allowed to bunker down in residence halls, the school announced .
The refuge space will open at 10 a.m. today and students “must be in place by 12 noon… as travel conditions will begin to deteriorate at that time.” FSU had opened a refuge facility at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center as well for off campus students.
Florida A&M University , also in Tallahassee, has a shelter at the Al Lawson Center run by the Red Cross for students and community residents. University residents on campus are “strongly encouraged” to shelter at the center, but students had the option to stay in their residence halls.
Multiple state universities within the projected path of Helene have shuttered for the rest of the week ahead of Helene's landfall.
Hurricane Helene intensifies as it takes aim at Florida
Reporting from PANACEA, Florida

Georgia and South Carolina at risk of floods, tornadoes and high winds
Florida may feel the brunt of Hurricane Helene but its effects will be felt across the southeastern United States, with an "enhanced risk" of the worst damage expected through northeast Florida into Georgia and South Carolina.
The National Weather Service office in Charleston pointed out that all of South Carolina and Georgia are under either hurricane warnings or tropical storm warnings.
Of particular concern is the risk of tornadoes through today and tonight, the NWS said.
Jacksonville prepares for severe flooding with temporary pumps
The city of Jacksonville is preparing for the worst by bringing in seven temporary pump stations, NBC affiliate WTLV reported last night .
The area suffered significant flooding a month ago and Mayor Donna Deegan is taking no chances.
The fix is temporary while the city invests in a $40 million permanent pump station that will be able to pump some 75,00 gallons, Deegan told a news conference yesterday.
Meteorologist on storm surge threat: 'This is not survivable'
People along the Florida coast at risk of dangerous storm surges should leave now and not take any chances, says Max Defender 8 Chief Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli, with NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa .
“You cannot survive 20 feet or even 15 feet of storm surge,” he said. “If you’re near the water and you know you’re going to flood, especially if you’re in a mobile home, too. You’ve got to go. You cannot take your chances. This is not survivable.”
A storm surge warning is in place for almost all Florida's west coast, as well as Tampa Bay and Charlotte Bay.
Tallahassee residents prepare for Hurricane Helene’s onslaught
Residents in Tallahassee, Florida, made some last minute preparations on Wednesday ahead of Hurricane Helene’s arrival. NBC South Florida's Lorena Inclan reports.

Harvard Youth Poll
Introduction.
A national poll released today by the Institute of Politics (IOP) at the Harvard Kennedy School indicates that among 18-to-29-year-olds nationwide, Vice President Kamala Harris holds a commanding 31-point lead over former President Donald Trump among likely voters in a multi-candidate matchup. The 48th Harvard Youth Poll shows Harris leading Trump 64% to 32% among likely voters in a two-way hypothetical scenario with her advantage expanding as young people become more engaged in the electoral process.
The poll also finds:
- A significant enthusiasm gap between young Democrats and Republicans, with 74% of young Democrats saying they will "definitely" vote, compared to 60% of young Republicans.
- A widening gender gap, nearly doubling from 17 points in the Spring poll to 30 points now, with Harris leading 70% to 23% among likely female voters.
- Harris outperforming Trump on key personal qualities and issues, with substantial leads in empathy (+33), relatability (+24), honesty (+22), climate change (+32), abortion (+31), health care (+26), and gun violence prevention (+25) among all young adults.
- Harris's job approval as Vice President has significantly improved, increasing from 32% in the Spring poll to 44% now.
- Strong support for progressive policies among young Americans, with 74% favoring capping prescription drug prices and 59% supporting a nationwide law to legalize abortion.
- Overwhelming rejection of Project 2025 among young Americans, with only 6% viewing it favorably compared to 48% unfavorably. Even among Republicans, we find 14% viewing it favorably and 23% unfavorably.
- The impact of social media, with 53% of young adults encountering memes about Harris online in the last month, 34% of whom say it positively influenced their opinion. Conversely, 56% have seen memes about Trump, with 26% reporting a negative impact on their perception.
Since 2000, the Harvard Public Opinion Project (HPOP) has provided the most comprehensive look at young Americans' political opinions and voting trends. It provides essential insight into the concerns of young Americans at a time when the nation is confronting numerous challenges both at home and abroad. President Kennedy once said, "It is a time for a new generation of leadership, to cope with new problems and new opportunities." The IOP is preparing a new generation of political leaders to confront these very challenges and gain the ability to successfully lead in today's complicated political landscape. Identifying areas of concern through the Harvard Youth Poll lets tomorrow's political leaders get started on ideas, strategies, and solutions, and allows them to decide today what the next generation of political leadership needs to look like.
The first Fall 2024 Harvard Youth Poll surveyed 2,002 young Americans between 18 and 29 years old nationwide, and was conducted between September 4-16, 2024.
"As we head into the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election season, the 48th Harvard Youth Poll serves as a critical barometer about the attitudes, concerns, excitement, and candidate preferences of our nation's young people," said IOP Director Setti Warren . "From climate change, abortion, gun violence, and more, young people are ready yet again to make their voices heard."
"This poll reveals a significant shift in the overall vibe and preferences of young Americans as the campaign heads into the final stretch," said John Della Volpe, IOP Polling Director . "Vice President Harris has strengthened the Democratic position among young voters, leading Trump on key issues and personal qualities. Gen Z and young millennials' heightened enthusiasm signals a potentially decisive role for the youth vote in 2024."
"In just a few weeks, Vice President Harris has drummed up a wave of enthusiasm among young voters. The shift we are seeing toward Harris is seismic, driven largely by young women. Our poll provides a deep dive into the values of this generation that will drive them to the polls in November," said Anil Cacodcar, Chair of the Harvard Public Opinion Project . "Harris is enjoying a perfect storm of personal appeal, policy support, and positive reach on social media."
Five key findings from the 48th poll in the series are below.
Key Takeaways
Kamala Harris holds a 23-point lead over Donald Trump among registered voters under 30 in a multi-candidate matchup; among likely voters, the Vice President's lead extends to 31 points.
Kamala Harris has established a commanding lead among young voters in both 5-way and 2-way matchups at this stage of the 2024 campaign. According to the Fall 2024 Harvard Youth Poll, Harris leads Donald Trump by 17 percentage points among young adults under 30 in a multi-candidate field. Her advantage expands to 23 points among registered voters and a substantial 31 points among likely voters.
These figures represent a significant improvement over Joe Biden's position earlier in the election cycle. The Spring 2024 edition of the Harvard Youth Poll had shown Biden leading Trump in a multi-candidate field by 3 percentage points among young adults under 30, 7 points among registered voters, and 13 points among likely voters. Harris's current numbers demonstrate a marked strengthening of the Democratic position among young Americans as the election approaches.
Notably, the gender gap, which stood at 17 points in the Spring poll, has nearly doubled to 30 points. While both men and women are moving toward Harris, the rate of female support eclipses male support.
- Likely male voters: Harris 53% - Trump 36%
- Likely female voters: Harris 70% - Trump 23%
The impact of independent and third-party candidates has dwindled since Spring 2024. Such candidates captured 17% of the vote (likely voters: 14%) in March but only receive 5% (likely voters: 3%) in this poll.
In a two-way contest, Kamala Harris leads Trump 54%-33% among all young adults, 59%-33% among registered voters, and 64%-32% among likely voters.
For context, exit polls in 2020 reported President Biden winning the youth vote, 60% to 36%.
A majority of young Americans report that they will "definitely" vote; young Democrats are more engaged than Republicans and independents.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of young Americans tell us they plan to "definitely" vote in the upcoming election. Among registered voters, the number rises to 72%. In the Spring edition of the poll, there was not a meaningful partisan gap. Democrats and Republicans were roughly as likely to say they would be voting (Democrats +2). Today, we find Democrats are far more enthusiastic (+14) than their Republican counterparts.
- March 2024: 66% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans responded that they would "definitely" vote in the November election
- September 2024: 74% of Democrats and 60% of Republicans responded that they would "definitely" vote in the November election
Much of this increased enthusiasm among Democrats is tied to Kamala Harris as their party's nominee. More than four-in-five (81%) of Harris supporters in a direct match-up with Trump are enthusiastic about voting for her, nearly doubling the 43% of Biden supporters who said the same in March.
Harris dominates Trump on personal qualities and the key issues facing young Americans in 2024.
Young Americans give Kamala Harris strong ratings relative to Donald Trump on the important presidential qualities of empathy (+33) , relatability (+24), honesty (+22), and competence (+19).
Among likely voters, Harris's lead on personal qualities becomes even more pronounced, with a 43-point advantage on empathy and a 36-point lead on relatability.
On which candidate is more trusted on the issues, the Vice President holds at least 20-point margins among all young adults on climate change (+32), abortion (+31), education (+28), health care (+26), gun violence protection (+25), and protecting democracy (+23). The Harris lead expands on every quality and issue when considering those most likely to vote.
The economy remains a contentious issue, with Trump holding a slim 1-point lead among all voters, highlighting an area where campaigns may focus future efforts.
Young Americans show strong support for progressive policies; Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters reject Project 2025.
The survey, which asked respondents about their stance on a range of six policies that are relevant to the 2024 presidential contest, revealed:
- Prescription Drug Price Caps: An overwhelming 74% of young Americans support capping prescription drug prices, with 54% strongly in favor.
- Tax-Free Tips: 66% support eliminating taxes on tips, with 45% strongly supporting this measure.
- Abortion Rights: A nationwide law to legalize abortion in most cases garnered 59% support, with 45% strongly in favor.
- First-Time Homebuyer Assistance: 55% support providing $25,000 to first-time homebuyers.
- Immigration Policy: Mass deportation was opposed by a plurality, with 47% against compared to 37% in support; 13% were unsure.
- Foreign Policy: An arms embargo with Israel received 32% support, but notably, 44% of respondents indicated they "don't know" their stance on this issue.
We found that Project 2025 held a name recognition of 54% among young Americans, with only 6% reporting favorable views and 48% rating the concept unfavorably. When we narrow the lens to registered voters, we find that name recognition is twice as high among Democrats (73%) as Republicans (36%). The breakdown of favorability among political affiliations is as follows:
- Democrats: 4% favorable, 69% unfavorable
- Republicans: 14% favorable, 23% unfavorable
- Independents: 5% favorable, 43% unfavorable
Views of Harris's job approval have improved since the Spring; majorities have encountered memes about Harris or Trump online in the past month.
While President Biden's job approval rating among young Americans remains steady at 32% (31% in Spring 2024), views of Kamala Harris's job performance as Vice President have increased significantly, from 32% in the Spring poll to 44% now. Overall, 47% of young adults view Harris favorably, 42% unfavorably, giving her a net favorability of +5. Her running mate Tim Walz also enjoys a positive net favorability of +14. In contrast, Donald Trump and JD Vance face significant unfavorability among young people, with net ratings of -30 and -28 respectively.
Fifty-three percent (53%) of young adults under 30 have encountered memes about Kamala Harris online in the last month; and 56% have said the same about Donald Trump. When asked what impact the memes had on opinions of the candidates, we found that 34% of young adults said it positively influenced their opinion of Harris, 16% negative — and 50% no effect.
The reaction to the Trump memes had the opposite effect. Only 13% of those who saw the memes say it positively impacted their view of the former president, 26% say it negatively impacted their opinion — while 61% say it had no effect.
Methodology
This poll of 2,002 18-to-29-year-olds was organized with undergraduate students from the Harvard Public Opinion Project (HPOP) and supervised by John Della Volpe, Director of Polling. Data were collected by Ipsos Public Affairs using the KnowledgePanel. KnowledgePanel provides probability-based samples with an “organic” representation of the study population for measurement of public opinions, attitudes, and behaviors. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish between September 4 and 16, 2024. The target population for this survey is U.S. residents between the ages of 18 and 29. Data are weighted to reflect population estimates based on age, race/Hispanic ethnicity, education, household income, census region by metropolitan area, and primary language within Hispanics. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 2.65%.
