Former President Donald Trump continues to hold a big lead among contenders to top the 2024 Republican national ticket, Emerson College Polling results showed Friday.
Trump also continues to defeat President Joe Biden in a 2020 election rematch, Emerson College Polling (ECP) found.
Trump (55%) clearly was the choice of GOP voters for 2024, Emerson results showed. He was followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (20%) and former Vice President Mike Pence (9%). No other potential Republican candidate received more than 5%.
A total of 64% of Democrat voters said Biden should be the party's 2024 nominee, while 36% said he should not be.
In a hypothetical 2020 rematch, Trump holds a five-point (44%-39%) over Biden.
