Trump and Biden also appeared to do well with repeat voters. Among Trump 2020 voters, 90 percent said they would vote for him again, while three percent said they would vote for Biden. Out of the Biden 2020 voters, 83 percent said they would vote for Biden, while five percent said they would vote for Trump, and eight percent said they would vote for someone else.
The poll from Morning Consult comes as several recent polls have shown Trump gaining more support among young voters, while Biden has been leading among older voters.
An NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist College national poll conducted between March 25 and 28, 2024, found that Trump led Biden by two points among Millennials and Generation Z, with 51 percent expressing support for Trump and 49 percent expressing support for Biden. Among “baby boomers” Biden earned 53 percent of support, while 45 percent expressed support for Trump. Biden fared better among people aged 45 or older, earning 52 percent of support, while 46 percent expressed support for Trump.
A similar poll by Fox News, conducted between March 22 and 25, 2024, showed that Trump led Biden by 18 points among voters under 30.
