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.

9% said they wouldn’t vote, but how many actually won’t bother going to the polls?

It’s true that abortion drove out young voters, but I’m interested to see how long that bump goes on for

One day it's an article saying young voters are abandonning Biden, next day it's one saying they overwhelmingly support him.

Yup. This is the circus part of the bread and circuses.

In what universe is 53% (against a fascist malignant narcissist manchild, no less!) overwhelming support?

Certainly not this one.

I think this is always been the case but also young voters don't vote or express their opinions or do anything but jerk off

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A New York Times/Siena College poll released Tuesday showed Trump ahead of Biden by 6 points among registered voters under 30.

Biden and Trump are the current front-runners for the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively.

Recent polls have indicated Biden’s popularity is waning slightly as Trump’s ticks up.

The incumbent held a mostly consistent lead over Trump for the first several months of the year, until mid-September.

The Economist/YouGov poll surveyed 1,336 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

The original article contains 304 words, the summary contains 118 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
