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.

    Unlike that peace-lover Trump who only cares about the welfare of the Palestinian people, right?

      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.

          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.

        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.
