Few Americans are looking forward to another Trump-Biden showdown this election season, according to new polling from The Associated Press. A newly released poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that relatively few American voters are excited about the potential 2020 rematch.

Yet, it appears a 2020 rematch is in the cards, as it seems increasingly more likely that Trump and Biden will win their party’s respective nominations.
“This is probably the most uniquely horrible choice I’ve had in my life,” Andrew Collins, an Independent voter, told the AP.
The newest survey showed that 56% of U.S. adults would be dissatisfied with Biden as the Democratic nominee, and 58% would be unhappy with Trump as the Republican nominee.
The majority of Republicans, 65%, said they would be satisfied with Trump as the GOP’s pick, and a quarter of them, 26%, said the party should pick someone else.
Among Democrats, 49% said they would be happy to see Biden as the party’s nominee, and nearly one-third disagreed, with 32% of respondents being dissatisfied with Biden getting the nomination.
Some respondents told the AP they would begrudgingly vote along party lines.
“I want a Republican to be elected, so I’m in favor of any Republican that would be on the ballot,” Joe Hill, a voter from Georgia, said of Trump. “I would more so if it wasn’t him.”
The majority of Independent voters said they don’t necessarily like either candidate, with 57% unhappy with Trump and 63% unhappy with Biden.
Deborah Brophy, an Independent voter who sided with Biden in 2020, said she is particularly torn over this election and that Trump “seems a little racist,” but Biden’s age and health are concerning.
“I don’t think he’s, health-wise, able to continue another four years in office,” Brophy said. “I think his mind is a little bit going the wrong way in the way of not being able to think.”

While it is not yet set in stone, it seems that Trump and Biden will likely be the presidential nominees. Polls show Trump with a wide lead over the rest of the Republican candidates, and Biden has received a lot of support from Democratic officials with no indication of any opponent truly competing for the nomination at this point.
Setting the stage for a potential grudge match, many said they are not anxiously awaiting.
[Andrew Collins, Independent Voter]
“THE MOST UNIQUELY HORRIBLE CHOICE I’VE HAD IN MY LIFE.”
[Karah Rucker]
THAT’S WHAT ONE INDEPENDENT VOTER TOLD THE AP ABOUT THE 2024 ELECTION PROSPECTS.
THAT VOTER ISN’T ALONE.
FEW AMERICANS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER TRUMP-BIDEN SHOWDOWN THIS ELECTION SEASON, ACCORDING TO NEW POLLING FROM THE AP.YET, IT APPEARS A 20-20 REMATCH IS IN THE CARDS, AS IT SEEMS INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT TRUMP AND BIDEN WILL WIN THEIR PARTY’S RESPECTIVE NOMINATIONS.
THE NEWEST A-P SURVEY SHOWS THAT 56-PERCENT OF US ADULTS WOULD BE DIS-SATISFIED WITH BIDEN AS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
AND 58-PERCENT WOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH TRUMP AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
NOW, ALONG PARTY LINES THE SUPPORT FOR THE TWO CANDIDATES IS A BIT DIFFERENT.
THE MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS – 65-PERCENT – SAID THEY WOULD*** BE SATISFIED WITH TRUMP AS THE GOP’S PICK – A QUARTER OF THEM SAID THE PARTY SHOULD PICK SOMEONE ELSE .
AMONG DEMOCRATS, LESS THAN HALF – 49-PERCENT – SAID THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE BIDEN AS THE PARTY’S NOMINEE – AND NEARLY A THIRD DISAGREED.
SOME RESPONDENTS TOLD THE A-P THEY WOULD BEGRUDGINGLY VOTE ALONG PARTY LINES.
QUOTE: “i want a republican to be elected, so i’m in favor of any republican that would be on the ballot. i would more so, if it wasn’t him.”
THAT VOTER REFERRING TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SAID IT IS A SAD TIME FOR AMERICA IF BIDEN AND TRUMP ARE THE BEST OPTIONS SAYING QUOTE:
“WE’RE DOWN TO THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.”
AND THE MAJORITY OF INDEPENDENT** VOTERS SAID THEY DON’T NECESSARILY LIKE EITHER CANDIDATE
WITH 57-PERCENT UNHAPPY WITH TRUMP AND 63-PERCENT UNHAPPY WITH BIDEN
AN INDEPENDENT VOTER WHO SIDED WITH BIDEN IN 20-20 SAID SHE IS PARTICULARLY TORN FOR THIS ELECTION – AND THAT TRUMP “SEEMS A LITTLE RACIST” BUT BIDEN’S AGE AND HEALTH IS CONCERNING.
QUOTE: “I DON’T THINK HE’S, HEALTH-WISE, ABLE TO CONTINUE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE. I THINK HIS MIND IS A LITTLE BIT GOING THE WRONG WAY IN THE WAY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO THINK.”
WHILE IT IS NOT YET SET IN STONE – IT SEEMS THAT TRUMP AND BIDEN WILL LIKELY BE THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES.
POLLS SHOW TRUMP WITH A WIDE LEAD OVER THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
AND BIDEN HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY OPPONENT TRULY COMPETING FOR THE NOMINATION AT THIS POINT.
SETTING THE STAGE FOR A POTENTIAL GRUDGE MATCH – MANY SAY THEY ARE NOT ANXIOUSLY AWAITING.
