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.

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

      Offset by the expected wisdom of the voter.

        If the change in vote numbers on the R side from 2016 to 2020 is anything to go by, it still skews younger voters having more power.

        Imagine being there in 2020 and saying “yeah, I want more of that”
