In the final polls that included Sanders, Biden did ~8 pts worse among 18-34 year-olds in the matchups against Trump than Sanders. This despite Biden doing better overall against Trump... This follows Biden's poor performance with them in the primary.

I'll also note this comes at a time when Biden is doing better among seniors than Clinton did... So the age gap has shrunk among seniors and young folks... (Gen X-young Boomers may actually be most GOP part of electorate right now.)

The poll asks likely voters, not registered voters. But yes, he is doing better with older voters who are more reliable.
