As the 2024 election shapes up as a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, a large percentage of voters think the country is doomed if their preferred candidate loses.

Fifty-three percent (53%) disagree, including 43% who “strongly disagree.”
Forty-two percent (42%) agree with the statement, “Donald Trump must be re-elected president next year or the United States is doomed,” including 26% who “strongly agree.”
Fifty-three percent (53%) disagree, including 44% who “strongly disagree.”
As might be expected, opinions are largely divided along party lines.
Two-thirds (67%) of Democrats at least somewhat agree that America is doomed if Biden is not reelected in 2024, while 61% of Republicans at least somewhat agree that the country is doomed if Trump doesn’t win next year.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 45% at least somewhat agree the U.S. is doomed if Trump doesn’t win, compared to 25% who feel the same about Biden.
