Here's a poll involving college students, some of whom are just a couple years older than you:

Biden 70
Trump 18
Someone else 10
Would not vote 3

Was there any type of poll done to compare this to 2016?

I interpret this as powerful evidence that the Millennial and post-Millennial generations are anti-Trump... and that the politics of late-wave Millennial and early-wave post-Millennial youth will be hostile to the GOP as it now exists. (Of course, the GOP could change its ways -- but cultural patterns and political attitudes rarely change over people's lives.
Do you see any conservative currents that have the potential to bring your generation to a more politically-conservative outlook? I will first rule out any effort to undo LGBT rights, as legal precedents stick.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
