In a hypothetical presidential matchup, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis would garner more support against President Joe Biden than former President Donald Trump would, a new poll from Marquette University finds.
Forty-five percent of registered voters preferred DeSantis, versus 38% of registered voters who preferred Biden in a hypothetical matchup between the two.
In a hypothetical contest between Biden and Trump, the two were even, each gaining 40% of registered voters' preference.
Just among Republican voters and independents who lean Republican, DeSantis had a slightly higher favorability rating. Seventy-one percent of those voters said they have a favorable view of DeSantis, while 70% said they had a favorable view of Trump.
Among that same group of voters, ten percent said they had an unfavorable view of DeSantis while 28% had an unfavorable view of Trump.
Republican voters and Republican-leaning independent voters also preferred DeSantis as the eventual Republican presidential nominee over Trump by 28 percentage points, as 64% of this group of voters preferred DeSantis as the nominee, compared to 36% who said they preferred Trump to be the nominee.

NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT

Agree!
He needs to start walking his “enthusiastic” support back!
Trumps worst enemy is his ego.
Yeh, sure! 🙄
A.). I'm not a mindless, ravenous, wild assed Trump hater. I voted for him twice with great enthusiasm, as well as money. Trump remains the only candidate that I've ever donated money to.
B.) I don't worry about the other polls. I'm looking at trends and even in the polls where Trump leads DeSantis, it's by much smaller margins than it used to be.
In fact, it appears that Trump, a former GOP president and, as of now, the only candidate in the race, has plateaued at 48% in the polls where he is winning.
That's not good news for Trump. Despite being a former president and the only candidate running, more than half of his party wants someone else in 2024.
My turn from Trump isn't personal. He just can't win in 2024. He will not flip a single state that he lost in 2020 and will likely lose NC as well. And, he's too old.
Trump is now a three-time loser. I'm tired of losing. DeSantis fights and wins.
Are we only allowed to post the polling that shows Trump beating DeSantis?Did someone try to stop you from posting this wishful thinking tripe?
Hint: The MSM already knows where to find them they are just holding the attack for the best time to spring it.
He did not lose round two, it was stolen. Where ya been?
Trump didn’t endorse Abrams.
How many republicans actually answered the poll?
Uh...oh......The Trumpaholics here aren’t gonna like this one.
That’s why they are pushing so hard for DeSantis. Trump is the most vetted candidate in history.
Wow!!! And we all know these polls are ever so accurate...
Trump might as well just give up...Oh, yeah....
D*PSH*T poll....LOL
Push polling continues to pretend it’s news.
LOL! He sure did!
” … Of course having her, I think, might be better than having your existing governor, if you want to know what I think. Might very well be better.”
Donald Trump just kind-of endorsed Stacey Abrams for governor
“Trumps worst enemy is his ego.”
Maybe. But all politicians have massive egos or they wouldn’t be in politics. Most keep it tamped down. Trump would be better off toning it down a little. Bragging isn’t attractive.
They must have taken this poll at Murdoch News Corporate offices.
You do know the poll is a crock, right?
Wrong! But thanks for playing.
