The 2024 presidential race is heating up, and voters are considering all their options, including third-party candidates. According to a recent national poll by Quinnipiac University, voters are evenly split on this matter, with 47% open to voting for a third-party candidate and 47% against the idea.

Interestingly, the poll reveals that independent voters are more inclined towards third-party candidates, with 64% saying they would consider such an option. On the other hand, both Democrats (61%) and Republicans (57%) are less likely to consider a third-party candidate.

In the race for the Republican nomination, former President Donald Trump is leading the pack with 54% support among Republican and Republican-leaning voters. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trails behind with 25% support.

On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden is the clear favorite with 71% support among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters.

In a hypothetical general election matchup, Biden leads Trump 49% to 44% among registered voters.

When it comes to the most important election issues, voters are primarily concerned about the economy (31%) and preserving democracy in the United States (29%).

The poll also reveals some interesting insights about climate change. Two-thirds of Americans are concerned about climate change, and 60% believe that recent extreme weather events in the U.S. are related to climate change.

In terms of the Supreme Court, Americans gave it a negative job approval rating, with 70% believing that Supreme Court justices are too influenced by politics.
