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.

    In what universe is 53% (against a fascist malignant narcissist manchild, no less!) overwhelming support?

    Certainly not this one.

      Because it’s not 53vs47, but 53vs24.

      Biden has double the support with youth Trump has.

      But one has to wonder where the other % are, not speaking their mind because they have someone with them that requires them to support the other guy or just don’t want to go on the record with anything regardless. (and this goes both ways, teens not dare to say they would vote Bidden because the people with them are MAGAts or people that would vote Trump, but are scared to say out loud because they know full well their peers don’t agree).
