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.

But would they vote? Young Americans historically have low voter turnout. Problem with youths is that we're all talk and no action.

So Boomers elected Biden in the 2020 general all on their own? Got it.

55% of youths voted and 74% of boomers did.

Sounds like younger voters did show up then and if they hadn't Biden would have lost.

Mail-in-votes in 2020 made voting easier. But still, voter turnout among young Americans could do better if you compare voter turnout with other countries.

Oh trust me, we won't be showing up for Biden in 2024. His obvious disdain for anyone under the age of 65 made sure of that.

Fucked the BBB, student loan forgiveness, weed legalization and getting healthcare insurance costs down. Currently using the Treasury and the Federal Reserve to fight American workers. Fucked over the rail workers by blocking the strike. Gave the most limp dicked support to the UAW. And currently supporting Israel against our wishes.

There needs to be another Roosevelt. Left leaning and a shrewd political operator.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
