The 2024 presidential election is quickly coming down to the wire. On the Republican side, the only two candidates left in the race are former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former President Trump. DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Christie, and other contenders who put their hat in the race have since bowed out.

On the Democratic side, Joe Biden faces primary challenges from Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. While Biden enjoys a lead over both, between Phillips and Williamson, the former stands a better chance of giving the president a run for his money.

2020 already saw Trump and Biden fight it out in the general election, with Biden ultimately emerging as the winner. Now, a new poll indicates most Americans don't want to have this year's presidential election mirror the one from nearly four years ago.

A breakdown of the numbers and more

Data from News Nation and Decision Desk HQ confirms almost six in ten people across the country don't wish to see Biden and Trump face off again. Strong majorities of Americans likewise agree that Congress lacks the capacity to effectively work together and believes the United States is on the wrong course.

On both sides of the aisle, contenders challenging Trump and Biden are leaning into this sentiment, working to reach disaffected voters. Republican Nikki Haley maintains that Biden and Trump have each failed, lack the necessary leadership abilities, and Americans can turn the page by electing her.

Meanwhile, Democrat Dean Phillips repeatedly points to polls that show Biden struggling in a one-on-one rematch against Trump. Phillips has said all Americans are welcome to support his campaign, a new generation of leadership in politics, and commonsense reforms that he thinks will unite people and improve the country.

In New Hampshire, both Haley and Phillips are working to win their respective party's primary elections tomorrow.

All eyes on the Granite State

Amid polling that shows most Americans don't want a 2.0 version of 2020, time will tell how tomorrow's primary races for both Republicans and Democrats shake out.

The poll from News Nation and Decision Desk HQ is also making the rounds on social media. Online users have pointed out if the public collectively opposes a possible Biden vs. Trump rematch, they can vote for alternative candidates running against these individuals in the primaries.
