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. A total of 12% said they would vote for someone else, and 5% were undecided.
"Since last month, Trump has held his share of support while Biden's support has reduced four points," ECP Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.
The Emerson poll found that the House Jan. 6 select committee hearings have had a split impact on voters' intentions to vote for Trump in 2024 if he were to run.
A total of 35% said the hearings made it less likely they would vote for the former president, 32% said they were more likely, and 28% said the hearings made no difference.
"Half of Republicans say they are more likely to vote for Trump following the January 6th hearings, while a plurality, 38%, of Independents say they are less likely to support Trump if he runs in 2024," Kimball said.
"More specifically, among those who voted for Trump in 2020, nine percent say they are less likely to vote for him again in 2024 after the hearings."
Kimball added that the Jan. 6 panel's hearings "reflect an educational divide, regarding their impact on Trump support."

As I have posted on multiple threads about the polls supposedly showing DeSantis as catching up or even surpassing President Trump with respect to polls, this poll is of Registered Voters, which this far out, makes it practically worthless.
However, what’s good for the Goose, is good for the Gander!
Hillary had 90%.
That 9% for Pence is your Bush League Republicans.
Yep and every one of them was at Cheney’s speech at The Reagan Library
That slick, sleazy Pence should go off himself for what he’s done to Trump and the country.
12% for someone else? Who: Chairman Xi? Putin? Bernie Sanders? Or an idiot on CNN?
libs have tried everything making a small demonstration into INSURRECTION!!
lies lies and more lies about Trump
Even their hope the aborting of Roe V Wade would save them hasn’t helped!
They have nothing left, they are going to be DESTROYED in November, especially in the house.
GO TRUMP GO. The RINO’s will be saddened by the news.
Donald will be 78 in two years as old as Biden is now. I think that age has a way of slowing a person down no matter how healthy. Ronald Reagan was 78 when he finished his two terms and there is evidence he was suffering from mental slowdown in his last year in office. I am saying that there are risks we need to consider.
No need The Donald is healthy as a horse!
