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.

      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.

                  I’m a big fan of Biden as a human being, and figured he’d do about the job he’s currently doing given his skill at working in Congress.

                  His policies are generally, but not always, policies I agree with, so that clicked too.

                    Should I take that to mean:

                    1. You weren’t a fan of any of the other candidates as human beings?
                    2. You figured they weren’t up to the job?
                    3. You didn’t like their policies?

                    You need to be more specific here. These are really vague reasons.

        Awww is the Boomer upset that someone doesn’t just do what they’re told? Gonna throw a little fit and insist you’re the grown up and therefore you make all the rules?

        Typical.

          I’m old but I’m not that old. I’m a tail end millennial.

          I’m not trying to make the rules or insist I’m the grown up. I’m just trying to point out that animosity with necessary allies is a terrible idea, and it applies both directions. I think it’s more important to win than it is to be proven right.

            They’re not allies though. The people who voted for Biden in the primaries did so specifically to fight progressive and leftist efforts. Ask anybody who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries why they did it.

            They are not allies and they’re not hiding it. They’re fighting us in the open.

              I voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries AND I’m a progressive. I did so because I knew he had a better chance of winning over a broad group of voters that might have been turned off by populist loudmouths. Once the threat of fascism has subsided I will gladly vote third party, but for now we have coalitions to build and freedoms to protect.

                Thanks for coming out and admitting it. You intentionally voted for Biden over progressives and leftists because they’re progressives and leftists.

                We are not on the same side.
