Biden supporters mostly back him in 2024 election because they oppose Trump, poll finds

Poll comes as the Biden campaign has ramped up its rhetoric in attacking Trump directly in recent weeks

More than half of Joe Biden's supporters are primarily motivated to cast their vote for the president in order to prevent a return of Donald Trump to the White House, according to a new poll.

Opposing Trump is the main reason to back Biden for 54% of the Democratic incumbent's voters, the new CBS/YouGov poll found, up from 47% in a similar survey conducted in March, which was prior to the presumptive Republican nominee being found guilty of business fraud by a New York jury.
