Despite Tuesday's New York Times headline suggesting that half of Republican voters do not want former President Donald Trump to be the party's presidential nominee in 2024, two new GOP primary polls show Trump with a commanding lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Trump was a near majority favorite in the Times poll released Tuesday, earning 49% support among GOP voters, which was 24 points better than DeSantis (25%). Tuesday's Politico/Morning Consult Poll gave Trump a majority at 52%, which was 31 points better than his closest challenger, DeSantis (21%).
Other polls are even more heavily in the former president's favor. The latest Harvard-Harris Poll had Trump as a 40-point favorite, while Emerson College Polling had Trump as a 35-point leader. The RealClearPolitics Polling Average now has Trump up 32.5 points on the field.
Not a single poll tracked by RealClearPolitics has anyone but Trump as the favorite if he chooses to run in 2024. Trump has yet to make an official declaration, previously pointing to restrictive campaign finance laws that keep him from doing that.
The Times headline asserting that half of GOP voters contradicts the poll numbers: 75% of GOP voters reject DeSantis (25%), 93% of GOP voters do not choose Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas (7%), or the 94% or more who prefer someone other than Mike Pence (6%), Nikki Haley (6%) or Mike Pompeo (2%).
. . . .
The Politico/Morning Consult was conducted July 8-10 among 2,005 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. The New York Times/Siena College Research Institute Poll among 849 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

TRUMP 2024!
Accept no substitutes!
Gonna be a lot of butthurtz screaming that Trump is too mean.
But Kamala leads everybody. I saw it. I saw it.
Trump will be 80 in just four years. They will make fun of him, just like we do with Biden today. Time for new blood.
By the time Nov 2024 rolls around, there will be no need for elections, having long been Federalized and SCOTUS packed. Big things are in store for the Democrat controlled election system. Many will scream and holler, but the masses will just shrug their shoulders and hold their hands out.
Trump is fine it is you that is deranged.
We need Trump to go scorched earth on the swamp, then DeSantis can start off clean
I’m guessing that the debates will be of record high interest .
I prefer DeSantis at this early stage, and I’ll support and vote for whomever wins the nom.
Wow. DeSantis is gaining.
As much as I like Trump and will vote for him, I would prefer Desantis.
At least we have some good options to choose from, now and in the future.
We have a handful of disrupters trying to put Trump down and prop up DeSantis ( who isn’t going to run in ‘24 ).
I could see a Trump/DeSantis ticket for 2024 and Desantis lead the ticket in 2028
If Trump runs, he’s the nominee, period.
The theft of 2020 will not go unpunished... He will get a threepeat.
Doesn’t hurt to remind people these are Trump’s numbers with none of the others being attacked whatsoever v nationally syndicated hit pieces filled with the most vile lies against Trump. If they run, Trump WILL hit them back.
It’s just never Trump in another guise.
Yes, they are loud and post 20 times a day each at least, pushing the Dump Trump, Desantis is it...
Spitting in the wind.
If Trump runs, he’s the nominee, period.
I think Desantis is smart enough to know this... IF he tries to take on Trump he’ll wind up hurting himself long term, where if he lets Trump go he can continue to be the Heir Apparent once Trump is done.
I so miss President Donald J. Trump.
Compare Biden four years ago to Trump today.
LOL.
They are not the same thing.
