Other Democrats Outperform Biden Among Young Americans, Says New U.S. News-Generation Lab Survey

Published

on

Kamala Harris is among the potential replacements to eclipse Biden in support, but the vice president is far from a front-runner, the poll shows.

WASHINGTON, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Several Democratic leaders hold an edge in support over President Joe Biden among young adults in a head-to-head race against former President Donald Trump, a new survey from U.S. News & World Report and Generation Lab reveals.

Uniquely examining the attitudes and opinions of the nation’s youngest voting bloc in key battleground states, the survey results come as part of a collaboration between U.S. News and Generation Lab.

Among the key findings of the survey of adults ages 18-34:

In a head-to-head matchup against Trump, the poll finds that Biden beats Donald Trump among young adults, 59% to 41%. In 2020, survey respondents who voted preferred Biden over Trump, 69% to 25% (MoE: +/- 3.9 percentage points).

Other Democrats do better than Biden in head-to-head matchups against Trump, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and California Gov. Gavin Newsom – each of whom earned 63% support compared with Trump’s 37%.

Former first lady Michelle Obama, who has never expressed interest in running, beats Trump 72% to 28%.

When given a slate of 13 Democratic and Republican candidates and asked who they would vote for if the election were held that day, 22% of overall survey respondents chose Trump, compared with 17% who chose Biden and just 4% who chose Harris.

Biden’s most fervent message – that democracy is on the ballot this election – hasn’t broken through to young adults: 38% say they neither agree nor disagree with that statement, compared with 46% who agree or strongly agree and 17% who disagree or strongly disagree.

Young adults are split when asked whether they agree or disagree with the statement, “I am better off right now than I was four years ago”: 37% say they disagree or strongly disagree, 31% say they agree or strongly agree, and 32% say they neither agree nor disagree. Among those reporting they are not better off, 70% cite the state of the economy.

Just 49% of young adults definitely plan to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

“Our survey makes it clear that President Biden is bleeding support among young Americans as Democrats consider whether the 81-year-old president is the party’s best candidate to face off against former President Donald Trump in November,” said Dafna Linzer, U.S. News’ editorial director and executive vice president. “In this crucial election cycle, our work with Generation Lab will help U.S. News provide comprehensive data to those seeking insights into the hearts and minds of our nation’s young voters as we approach the 2024 presidential election.”

“The upcoming presidential election will likely be decided by a small margin, so these polls will be vital in understanding where the younger generation stands, and what may ultimately tip the scales of the election one way or the other,” said Jira Smith, Generation Lab’s director of research. 

The survey was conducted online by Generation Lab on June 28-July 5, 2024, among a nationally representative sample of 2,040 U.S. adults, ages 18-34 living in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, yielding a margin error of +/- 2.2 percentage points.

For additional survey findings, U.S. News has published related content including an overview as well as an analysis on Biden’s pain points with young Americans.

Innoscience’s current products are not affected by both rulings of the Munich Regional Court

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innoscience today announced that the Munich Regional Court has just issued a pair of rulings, from which it could be confirmed that Innoscience’s currently marketed gallium nitride (“GaN”) power device products fall outside the scope of Infineon’s asserted German patents and may be commercialized in Germany without restriction.

These rulings are fully consistent with the final determination issued last month by the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), which found that Innoscience’s current products do not infringe Infineon’s asserted U.S. patent relating to packaging design (U.S. Patent No. 9,899,481). The Munich case concerns the German counterparts of that same patent family. In line with the ITC’s findings, the Munich Court found infringement only with respect to a limited set of legacy products—certain packaged 650–700V transistors—that had already been discontinued. Therefore, any injunction granted would not apply to Innoscience’s current product portfolio. As a result, there is no impact on Innoscience’s ongoing operations or its customers’ use of its products in Germany.

The decisions mark another significant milestone in Innoscience’s string of favorable outcomes across major jurisdictions. They follow the company’s recent success in China, where it secured an injunction and damages award against Infineon, as well as its decisive victory at the ITC in the United States last month. Together, these rulings reaffirm the legality of Innoscience’s current product portfolio and its ability to operate freely in key global markets.

While proceedings in Germany remain ongoing, including Innoscience’s invalidity challenges to the asserted German patent, the growing body of decisions across China, the United States, and Germany underscores that the global litigation campaign initiated by Infineon has not altered the competitive position of Innoscience’s core products. To the contrary, independent judicial findings across multiple jurisdictions have consistently validated the robustness of Innoscience’s technology and reinforced market confidence in the company’s product compliance and innovation capabilities.

Innoscience remains committed to advancing its technology leadership and expanding its global footprint, delivering cutting-edge GaN solutions to customers worldwide in a fair and competitive marketplace.

Higher education institutions often manage infrastructure spread across data centers, MDF/IDF closets, labs, classrooms, and multiple campus locations while supporting digital learning, campus connectivity, research workloads, and administrative systems. These environments require accurate asset management, reliable connectivity documentation, capacity planning, and operational visibility across IT and facilities.

Common infrastructure management challenges in higher education include:

Lack of a single source of truth for asset managementDistributed assets across the entire campusLimited space, power, cooling, and budget resources as digital learning, research computing, and campus IT services continue to expandMaintaining uptime and resiliency for critical academic, research, and administrative systems
