Siena Poll: 41% of voters don't want Trump or Biden

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A new Siena Poll was released Tuesday morning, giving insight into how poll participants feel going into the 2024 election. Some insight gave light on how a potential rematch of the 2020 Presidential Election would look, and if a third, different candidate would fare better.

According to the Siena Poll, if President Biden were to go up against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, he'd lead 48% to 36%.

“While Biden holds a 12-point lead over Trump in a head-to-head matchup, and leads by 10 points in a four-way race, it’s worth remembering just how ‘blue’ New York is. Democrats have a 27-point enrollment advantage over Republicans, Biden beat Trump by 23 points in 2020, and no Republican presidential candidate has carried the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984, 40 years ago,” Siena College Pollster Steven Greenberg said.

On the other hand, the new Siena Poll says 41% of voters would want the next president to be someone other than Biden or Trump, with both garnering 28% of voters in that case.

“When asked their presidential preference among Biden, Trump and ‘someone else,’ a plurality of New Yorkers, including a large majority of independents, want someone other than Biden or Trump,” Greenberg said. “While 61% of Republicans stick with Trump and 29% want someone else, only 46% of Democrats want Biden, compared to 38% who want another choice. Pluralities of white, black, and Latino voters all want their next president to not be named Biden or Trump.”
