“Biden vs. Trump 2024: Poll Results Shock the Nation!

A new nationwide poll conducted by YouGov has revealed a huge gap in the concern over the age of Joe Biden and Donald Trump when compared with a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup. The poll, which was conducted from April 23 to May 1, asked 1,500 participants about their thoughts on a potential Biden-Trump showdown in five years time. While 35 percent of those asked stated they were “somewhat” or “very” concerned about Biden’s age if he were to run in 2024, an overwhelming 62 percent of those surveyed indicated the same level of concern for Trump’s age if he were to run again. The disparity between the two candidates’ perceived age risk couldn’t have been more stark – nearly 30 points separate the two in terms of the percentage of those concerned. Though Biden is 77 and runs the risk of falling into the category of “oldest president in history” if he were to win, the relative youth of the former Vice President in comparison to the 74-year-old Trump seems to have won him few points in terms of public opinion with regards to his threat of passing away during a potential term. It also appears Biden’s decision to abstain from any public appearances over the past few weeks has had a positive impact on perceived public opinion, with the poll showcasing the Democratic nominee holding a 52 percent to 40 percent lead over Trump in the general election. In the poll itself, Biden emerged the clear winner over Trump, with 58 percent of those surveyed opting for a Biden presidency versus 35 percent opting for a Trump one. The poll, while providing a snapshot of the current perception of the two nominees, serves as a further marker of the considerable differences between Biden and Trump as potential presidents. Trump’s high profile and erratic behavior have historically had an outsize influence on public opinion in comparison to his numbers when it comes to policy specifics and public service. It is clear that the American public is aware of these differences and have taken them into account in expressing a preference for Biden in the upcoming presidential election.
