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.

    You aren’t losing a finger, you’re being forced to accept that your politics don’t align with most of your fellow citizens.

    Frederick Douglas couldn’t even vote, but he worked for politicians who couldn’t promise to end slavery.

      you’re being forced to accept that your politics don’t align with most of your fellow citizens.

      I think younger people are being forced to accept their politics don’t align with most of their fellow citizens who vote and have money. Statistically this means older citizens.

      If there’s anything good coming out of the last two presidential elections I think it’s that younger citizens are becoming more active and galvanizing them to vote and be heard.

      Don’t align with most of your fellow citizens that vote, specifically. And they’re the only ones that count in this case.
