2024 Presidential Election Could Be Between Andrew Cuomo and Mitt Romney – By Aila Slisco (Newsweek) / Aug 13 2020
A new poll indicates that voters would favor a 2024 presidential election between Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republic Senator Mitt Romney.
The poll released Thursday by Canadian polling firm Leger surveyed over 1,000 registered U.S. voters who listed the candidates as their top choices for GOP and Democratic nominations. Neither of the current candidates, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, were listed as choices.
Cuomo was the top 2024 choice for Democrats, gaining the support of 21 percent, with Biden’s 2020 running mate Senator Kamala Harris being the runner up at 19 percent. The governor had 20 percent support among the general population, with runners up being Pete Buttigieg and Andrew Yang, who each garnered 14 percent, while Harris had 13 percent.
Romney was the clear choice of the general population with 30 percent support, compared to Vice President Mike Pence’s 18 percent. However, Romney’s advantage disappeared when only Republicans were surveyed. Pence was the top choice for Republicans, with 31 percent, while Romney had only 9 percent support, losing out to figures such as Donald Trump Jr., the runner up with 17 percent.
