We don’t want either of them! One in 6 voters have unfavorable views of Biden and Trump

A new poll shows that one in six voters dislike both former president Donald Trump and President Joe Biden – and that group could decide the 2024 presidential election.

A Monmouth University poll released on Monday shows 60 per cent of voters were slightly or not at all enthusiastic about the election given the matchup between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees.

In addition, a large group of voters fall under the category of “double haters,” a name for those who dislike both Mr Trump and Mr Biden. Some 78 per cent of “double haters” say they are not happy about either man leading the top of their party’s ticket.

Mr Biden holds a slight lead with this group, with 26 per cent saying they will either definitely or probably vote for Mr Biden, while 17 per cent say they will either probably or definitely vote for Mr Trump. But 55 per cent of this group say they are unlikely to vote for either candidate.

Just 20 per cent of all voters said they were “very” enthusiastic about the choices this election cycle. The highest-performing alternative to those candidates, independent candidate Robert F Kennedy, is not popular either: 24 per cent of voters had a favourable opinion of Mr Kennedy, compared to 34 per cent who said they had an unfavourable view and 30 per cent who had no opinion. Another 13 per cent had not heard of him at all.

The “double haters” also do not seem to have a favourable opinion of Mr Kennedy. Only 15 per cent of them say they will definitely vote for him and 23 per cent say they will probably vote for him.

Just five per cent of voters said they would “definitely” vote for Mr Kennedy, while another 13 per cent said they would “probably” support him in November. That could be complicated by
