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.

      I mean … he does. He’s not as bad as he’s made out to be on most domestic issues, keeping in mind the limited power of the presidency and the fact congress holds the majority of the power. But he’s too fucking old. He’s made mistakes, and handling Israel with kid gloves is a problem.

      I’m still voting for him because:

      • The alternative is a fascist takeover of the government
      • It gives us 4 years to push for change, elect leftists, and organize in an environment where were fascists don’t hold overwhelming power.
      • In 4 years he’ll fucking leave office on his own accord. Donald Trump (or his stand-in) absolutely won’t.

        I believe we disagree on a few of his policy choices, and what we find good or bad. Democrats are a pretty big tent

        I agree with your other points, at least conceptually. They’re good reasons.

      Yeah people catastrophise so badly when it comes to politics. Biden is bland, uninspired and gaff-prone - however, he is a safe pair of hands. Just because a politician does not make you excited does not mean they suck.
