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.

    Well yes. Now add in “Generic Democrat” and watch Biden’s numbers drop like they’re a 21 year old in their first club.

        It’s the worst right?

        You don’t understand polling. Look again. It’s more that twice as high as the next option. 53% is fucking fantastic.

      Irrelevant, since he’s going to be the one on the ballot.

        That fact alone could still cause a major backlash. The GOP is absolutely readying bad faith attack ads about the lack of a democratic primary. (In reality neither party has allowed an incumbent president to be primaried in decades) They’re already running FUD about it, hoping it goes viral.
