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.

    Fine, I shouldn’t have used the word absent as I didn’t mean exactly 0. the person you’re replying to understood what I meant though.

    If the lowest turnout group is the one he’s counting on then I’d say that’s not a great bet.

      … he is counting on them. What are you not understanding here? He wouldn’t have won without them in 2020.

        Says the person who clearly isn’t understanding what I’m saying…

        If they are the lynchpin to his victory, that’s a bad bet because they are the lowest turnout of any group of voters.

        As in: Biden IS counting on them. They however show up to vote in the lowest numbers of any group, so it’s a bad bet to be relying on them. They should have a better strategy than that.

        I’ve seen you all over this thread defending young people because you voted. That’s great that you did, but you aren’t all young people.

          And you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying: Biden is depending on young people to vote in order to win the election while simultaneously fucking them over at every turn. Meanwhile people like you are defending this behavior.
