Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.

In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.

Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.

    Centrists falsely interpret all criticism of Biden as support for Trump. It’s dishonest.

      And realists know that bashing Biden with no nuance, as these comments are doing, does nothing but benefit Republicans.

        Centrists just want everyone to their left and only their left to shut up.

        Then what you’re telling us is there is no opportunity for improvement… Clinton was 30 years ago and Biden is to the right of Clinton. Three decades of “incremental progress” has gotten us nowhere.

          It’s gotten centrists where they want to go.

              I mean, you can only appease fascists for so long before it starts to look like collaboration.

      interpret all criticism of Biden as support for Trump

      When you don’t vote, therefore allowing Trump to win the election…then yeah.

      Equating the above with “all criticism” is what’s dishonest. Plenty of people criticize Biden who voted for him once, and they are still voting for him again. But you know that. We might not like him but believe it or not, we dislike fascism even more. Crazy, I know.
