Young voters right now overwhelmingly prefer Biden: The Economist/YouGov poll

Young voters are being given really shitty choices.

Sure, Biden kinda sucks, but THE ALTERNATIVE IS ACTUAL FASCISM.

Young voters overwhelmingly prefer the guy who's not actively trying to destroy the future, how shocking!

Which is why republicans are trying so hard to push the idea of not being able to vote until you're much older.

cause they want to cut off the youth vote, because they'd rather disenfranchise tens of millions and get rid of democracy than risk having to change their positions.

Well it's hardly surprising.

It's like preferring a slice of unbuttered slightly stale bread, to a literal dogshit on a stick, being waved around by others with shit all over their faces, knowing that if they eat enough, you'll have to eat double.

I don't particularly prefer Biden, but he's much more preferable than these crazy nazi Republicans running against him

Every week it’s a different poll with a different result and a different headline. All I’m learning is that these polls are meaningless.

ITT: right wing Poe's law trolls pretending to be leftists.

Wait, just yesterday young voters didn’t like Biden? I’m beginning to think that maybe the news is all made up 🤪

I prefer getting a finger cut off, as opposed to an arm.

Doesn't mean I want to lose my finger.

In an ideal world, maybe the votes would be weighed by the expected remaining life span of the voter.

Young people prefer Joe over the guy LITERALLY ADVERTISING TYRANNY AS A FEATURE? What a fucking surprise.

If that's the case, hopefully they get out and vote.

"Prefer" doing a lot of work here

Now actually show up on election day.

That’s cool, as long as they actually follow through and vote when the time comes.

Well well well. Looks like we finally got a poll that wasn't conducted by people calling a boomer's landline at 2pm.

But would they vote? Young Americans historically have low voter turnout. Problem with youths is that we're all talk and no action.

The kids are alright. Aint nobody younger than 50 who isn't a complete chud falling for that shit again.

Biden is a great president and best panacea to the ugliness of current politics. Feel free to not like him though. Nothing against polls but it is still far out so even as a Biden supporter I'm not going to wave this poll around like I'm Dean Phillips.

It's wild how many YouGov polls hit the front page of Lemmy. Regardless if you like the results or not, the polls are worthless trash that means nothing.

If we're going to have a president who backs fascist regimes abroad no matter what, they might as well be less fascist domestically.

The bar is so fucking low.

NYT did a new poll with a likely voter screen and likely voters prefer Biden too.

I mean that's 53%. This demographic is supposed to be the one Biden is relying on to win, so this is a disastrous number.

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

Claudia De la Cruz for President.

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

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

Clearly because of the lack of options... Biden and Trump again ey 😵‍💫

29yo and I am definitely voting Biden.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

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!

Well yes. Now add in "Generic Democrat" and watch Biden's numbers drop like they're a 21 year old in their first club.

Now they just have to vote!

But will they be excited - will they turn out?

Old people overwhelmingly vote though.

Meh I reckon Boden at least chills, he knows that the US ain't got shit to prove, they just do whatever they do and try not accidentally sell guns to too many of the wrong people lol

They always did, the polls stating otherwise we BS, and legitimate poll analysts have been pointing this out all along.

But noooo, we have giant corporate media conglomerates who want to push the 'horse race' narrative even though Trump has little chance of winning.

"Yong voters prefer man that can offer a slim hope of a future over man promising to plunge world into darkness."

Like who would vote for a guy saying he wants to be a dictator????

In a world with such a myriad views how can there be a two party system. It's utter madness.

Now actually show up in election day.

Young voters overwhelmingly prefer the guy who's not actively trying to destroy the future, how shocking!

Now watch as everyone who spent the last few weeks dismissing all polls suddenly likes polls.

It's funny because he's old

When will we learn that all politicians are shit regardless of color? Guillotine for president 2024!!!

That's 2% less for Biden than for Hillary in 2016 and only 3% less for Trump than in 2016.

Good to see the the DNC propaganda machine is still working.

biden the man who helped take voting rights away, did not defend women's rights or anyone's bodily autonomy (why would this catholic defend abortion rights anyways), first day as president went back on campaign promises and fired cannabis users, promised national police reform and did nothing look at Georgia's cop city, minimum wage was a campaign promise that went nowhere

and as soon as you bring this up you get labeled as a trump lover and vilified

this country is totally fucked and is disuniting more by the day just look at the states rights issue federal law is going away in favor of what fifty individual states want to do
