Young voters right now overwhelmingly prefer Biden: The Economist/YouGov poll
thehill.com
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
I believe we'll just get them in the mail here. Should be standard everywhere tbh
Won't bother implies that it's an easy thing to do, but this isn't true of many underprivileged people. Next election will only be worse as restricting people's waterbottle access and eliminating polling stations had just begun during the midterms and hadn't been tested on the biggest scale elections yet.
I'd guess until it becomes clear that Democrats don't intend to fix the problem.
Except they have been, on a state by state basis, which is really the only legal way besides amending the US Constitution, which won’t happen on this issue.
So abortion bans are going to remain a Red State Problem forever. Got it.
Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not? But pretty much
Cool. I'll just file "10 year olds being forced to bear their rapists' offspring" with all the other Red State Problems that the national party has no plan or desire to fix, ever.
I’d love to hear your ideas to fix it when it’s unconstitutional to do so. Short of amending the constitution, what are the options?
For the record, no party has proposed a viable solution, regardless of how mainstream that party is
Well, once we have a majority of any size, we kill the filibuster. We use our majority to supersede the judiciary act of 1869 and increase the size of the Supreme Court. We then put additional justices on the supreme court and repeal Dobbs, thereby reinstating Roe.
Then we codify Roe so Republicans will have a harder time getting rid of it. Then we have a popular accomplishment to run on, a majority not hamstrung by the Jim Crow Filibuster, and a Supreme Court that isn't ruling in bad faith against the American people.
Or we continue to timidly do nothing, or worse, blame the victims because they live in red states and therefore need to suffer for committing the sin of being outnumbered.
Ah, court packing by one side. What could go wrong when the other side regains control?
Ah, court packing by Republicans. Let's sit back and do nothing when it happens.
In any event, I answered your question. You wanted to know how to get Roe back without a constitutional amendment. It's a more feasible idea than giving up forever on republicans' victims in red states because fixing things is work.
Sorry, ig I was hoping for a realistic idea. We could also murder every GOP member of congress. Plenty of implausible ideas out there
You'll dismiss all ideas but "give up" as unrealistic.
