Yet another article about the same polls. How about the fact that dems outperformed all polling expectations in the elections this week?

Also, a poll 1 year out means almost nothing. Even right after Bernie lost, I said I’d never support Hilary and would vote 3rd party. Then I realized I was being young and dumb and actually turned out to vote.

Absolutely. A lot of misinformation shows up in polls and statistics far ahead of an election. It’s free to air your grievances in a poll. Makes no difference. When push comes to shove, young voters will come out to vote for Biden if he’s the Democratic nominee.

Because they’re not voting for Biden, their options are “Trump” and “Not Trump”.

More than that. It’s “fascism” and “not fascism.” Nobody is fooled that Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis are anything other than.

I say this knowing Trump is almost certainly going to win the nomination, but he’s old, unhealthy, facing real prison time in three lawsuits, and the loss of his financial empire in the other. That level of stress isn’t good for anyone, and nobody lives forever.

Dems over-performed polling in 2018, 2020, 2022, and now 2023. But sure, this poll has its fingers on the pulse of the young people.

We should act as if young people might not vote for Biden so we can work even harder to make sure they will.

I wrote in Bernie but that’s because the state I lived in went for Clinton by like 80 points.
