Harvard Poll: Donald Trump Outperforms Ron DeSantis Against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Breitbart ^ | 18 Nov 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Former President Donald Trump outperformed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in hypothetical 2024 presidential matchups against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found.

In a potential rematch against Biden, Trump is up two points at 44 percent, compared to Biden’s 42 percent. Despite some Republicans’ calls for DeSantis to primary Trump, the Harvard poll found that DeSantis is tied with Biden at 43 percent.

Trump similarly outperforms DeSantis in a potential presidential matchup against Harris, leading the Vice President by seven points at 47 percent support. Meanwhile, DeSantis only has three more percentage points of support when pitted against Harris, 42 to 39 percent.

The Harvard poll was taken just days after Trump officially launched his 2024 candidacy following months of speculation.

“You and all those watching are the heart and soul of this incredible movement in the greatest country in the history of the world,” Trump told a crowd of supporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday.

Although Biden has not officially announced his reelection campaign, throughout his first two years in office, he has consistently indicated he would run for president again. However, Harvard’s poll found that 55 percent of voters have doubts about Biden’s mental fitness to serve as president.

On the other hand, DeSantis has remained largely silent about the prospect of a 2024 presidential run, neither declaring his intent nor ruling it out completely. For example, when DeSantis’s Democrat opponent Charlie Crist questioned if the governor would serve a full term during their debate last month, DeSantis stood silently, then chided Crist for being “interested in talking about 2024.”

One week before he announced his 2024 campaign, Trump cautioned DeSantis against

DeSantis won’t primary Trump, and Trump will trounce Biden or any other democrat that runs. Kamala should not even enter into the equation and shouldn’t even be mentioned.

I’d like to see Trump bow out and campaign along side DeSantis, appearing at every rally with DeSantis. Biden is going to be 81 years, ll months, 15 days on Election Day 2024. The contrast with DeSantis would be devasting to Biden’s campaign. Of course I will run to the polling station to vote for Trump if he’s the nominee, but I sure would like to see Biden have to run against a much younger Republican.

I personally don’t think Biden will run again.
Some people never look to retire so he may run.

So the DeSantis election cleanup algorithm has been applied in all 49 other states?

I hadn’t heard that, but that is wonderful news!

Now we can all look forward to Trump’s smashing victory in 2024!

And Desantis has not even declared!

No wonder the Ever-Trumpers are trying to destroy our greatest conservatives with lies and name-calling.

Name a single critical swing state that Trump lost in '20 that he wins in '24.

And he doesn't need to win one of them. He needs to win THREE of them.

“Now we can all look forward to Trump’s smashing victory in 2024!”

Trump can’t move the blue and independents. DeSantis has proven he can.

Also, given a TRUE conservative opponent, many republicans will vote DeSantis because they are tired of his lies and insults.

“Name a single critical swing state that Trump lost in ‘20 that he wins in ‘24.”

Running on election fraud is a losing game. It reduces turnout as was proven in Georgia.
