2024 US Presidential Election

[Thumpalumpacus]

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.

Among registered voters 30–44 years old, Biden still leads but by a slimmer margin; 49 percent support Biden, and 38 percent support Trump.

The trend reverses for older age brackets. Among registered voters ages 45–64, 39 percent support Biden, and 47 percent support Trump. Among registered voters 65 and over, 36 percent support Biden, and 53 percent support Trump.

This poll departs from other polls released this week that showed Biden more popular among older Americans. A New York Times/Siena College poll released Tuesday showed Trump ahead of Biden by 6 points among registered voters under 30.

It will take both the young and the female. The Dobbs decision has pretty much assured higher-than-normal female turnout, which will likely be overwhelmingly anti-Trump. I think the younger demo will turn out in part for the same reason -- the restriction of reproductive rights.

Yeah, someday the whites will be outnumbered. Scary thought, to some. Me, I don't care.

The 30-minute ride from Maplewood to St. Paul today was punctuated by a man, talking to himself, at normal speaking volumes, about how he hated white people.

This world has too many assholes.
