While current polling shows that the 2024 Election will once again feature Donald Trump and Joe Biden, a new survey found that almost a fifth of Americans won't vote if their names are on the ballot.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Americans aren't pleased by the current Democratic and Republican nominee front runners, with 18% saying they won't vote in the next election if former President Trump faces off once again against President Biden.
Additionally, the poll found that 67% of Americans were "tired of seeing the same candidates in presidential elections and want someone new."
The 2024 presidential election will most likely be a rematch of 2020, as long as things remain as they are and former President Trump doesn't face legal trouble that keeps him off the ballot.
If it is a rematch, the poll found that among those who would vote, 40% would support Trump and 34% Biden. The question also included potential third-party candidates, and the remaining respondents said they would vote for someone else or not at all.
When looking more closely at Biden and Trump, 70% of respondents, including almost 50% of Democrats, thought Biden shouldn't be seeking reelection. As for Trump, 56% said he shouldn't be running again, including 31% of Republicans.
Top concerns for both men include their age, as Biden is set to be 82 at the start of a second term if reelected, and Trump would be 78.
While Biden's blunders and gaffs have long been a campaign point for Republicans trying to say he isn't mentally fit for office, the tables were turned this past week.
Last Friday, Trump confused his last Republican rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while discussing Jan. 6, 2021, during a speech in New Hampshire.
Haley and Biden were quick to criticize Trump for his mental blunders, which have begun to stack up lately.
"I don't agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi," Biden wrote in a post on X that included a video showing Trump's other mixups.
"The concern I have is, I'm not saying anything derogatory, but when you're dealing with the pressures of a presidency, we can't have someone else that we question whether they're mentally fit to do this," Haley said at a campaign event over the weekend.
Trump has also recently made remarks about running against former President Obama, though he maintains that it was a joke.
"A lot of times, I'll say that President Obama is doing a lousy job, meaning that Obama is running the show," Trump said. "They'll say, Donald Trump doesn't know who our president is. No, no. A few months ago, I took a cognitive test my doctor gave me. I said give me a cognitive test, just we can, you know, and I aced it. I also took one when I was in the White House."
Trump then promised to let people know when he "goes bad."
Either way, Americans agree that Trump and Biden are too old to be president, with about half agreeing with the sentiment for the former president and about three-fourths for the current president.
The poll was conducted from Jan. 22 to 24 and included results from 1,250 Americans. There is a margin of error of 2.86 percentage points.
