Former President Trump crushed all of his potential 2024 Republican primary competitors in the latest poll from Fox News.
Republican primary voters were given a list of 15 announced and potential candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump tops the list with 43%, followed by Ron DeSantis at 28%, Nikki Haley and Mike Pence at 7% each, and Greg Abbott and Liz Cheney at 2% each.
So far only Trump and Haley have announced their intentions to run.
And with only three percent of Republican voters saying they are undecided it looks like 2024 is going to be a Trump cake walk.
“Among Republican primary voters, men, women, those under and over age 45, and those without a college degree all put Trump first and DeSantis second,” Fox News reported. “The Florida governor is ahead among those with a college degree and those who think Biden was legitimately elected, and the two are within a point or so among suburban voters and those with higher incomes.”

DeSantis becomes the overwhelming choice for Republican voters if Trump is not in the race.
“Currently, the GOP primary dynamics are simple,” says Daron Shaw, a Republican, who conducts the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. “DeSantis needs Trump to falter because most of the former president’s supporters see the Florida governor as the second-best choice. At the same time, other candidates need DeSantis to falter because his supporters have no single fallback option and would be up-for-grabs should he flame out.”
DeSantis needs some national security / foreign policy experience. Then he is ready to be President. There’s time. Director of the CIA or Secretary of Defense in the next Trump administration.
The results must be because Fox News favors DeSantis .
Oh, wait….. NEVERMIND.🤗🤗
And Trump will lose again to Biden. Trump alienates too many and bring out the crazies with voter fraud. We get Obama/Biden for ANOTHER 4 years.
If you are given the opportunity, put your money on a proven winner.
“And with only three percent of Republican voters saying they are undecided it looks like 2024 is going to be a Trump cake walk.” Not necessarily true because most of the candidates will start dropping out quickly so they won’t be options anymore. Once they quit, are most of Pence’s, Haley’s and Abbot’s supporters going to switch to Trump or De Santis? If most go to De Santis, it’s a toss up.
I think Trump is indeed way ahead among Repubs. Time for DJT to focus on Dems who are busy destroying our country, and stop the constant criticism of fellow Republicans.
trump never had any of that experience when he ran for president in 2016...
another ignorant message proudly brought to us by SoConPubbie...
That poll can be dismissed as nonsense since it has Liz Cheney at 2% ...
OK, newbie noob. You’ve been here all of four months and you are never Trump trash. Go to DU.
DeSantis is not running.
If Haley and Pence drop then Trump is tie?
Sure……because DJT had so much national security & foreign policy experience when he was running….
—> Trump alienates too many
Great marketing messages attract your customers while repelling the opposite.
BOTH are extremely attractive to those you are trying to reach.
And Trump fights.
DeSantis is laying the groundwork to run. In my opinion he is waiting for charges to be filled against Trump for the Georgia investigation, at which point he will step in.
Sorry, you are not a newbie noob. My apologies.
