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.

    Don’t align with most of your fellow citizens that vote, specifically. And they’re the only ones that count in this case.

        If you’re petty enough to roll over and let fascism win, you were never someone who could be relied on anyway.

          And yet, apparently the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries are relying on our votes because he wouldn’t have won the general without us.

            Based on what you know about the GOP, what makes you think that there will even be an election in 2028 it they gain power in 2024?

            This entire thread is literally about how there aren’t very many of “your votes”

                  Alright then don’t cry when you lose in 2024. And if there is another primary election in 2028 do your best not to vote for the most procorporate trash candidate yeah?

                    Joe Biden was my first choice in the 2020 primaries. Clinton was my first choice in 2016. Buttigieg will be my first choice in 2028, most likely.

                    See the thing is, im part of that majority, and I agree with them.
