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.

    he has already beaten Trump once

    Barely. With the awfulness that was Trump’s presidency still happening. The voters have ridiculously short memories and Biden’s main campaign strategy of running as “not the other guy” isn’t anywhere near as effective for an incumbent as for a challenger.

    By insisting on Biden, the DNC is dramatically increasing the risk of losing the election and thereby making it the last one.
