Most voters would rather see Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., as the GOP nominee in 2024 over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll that also found the majority of Democrats do not think President Biden should seek re-election next cycle.
A Marquette Law School poll revealed that in a hypothetical 2024 matchup between DeSantis and Biden, the two candidates were tied among registered voters, both receiving 42% support. About 11% said they would choose a different candidate.
The results reflect a major increase in support for DeSantis compared to a January Marquette poll where he received only 34% support compared to Biden's 43%. In a March poll from the university, the Republican governor began gaining momentum, locking in 35% support and eventually hitting 38% support in a September survey.
When respondents were asked who they would vote for if Trump were the GOP nominee and Biden the Democratic pick, the poll found Biden with a 10-point edge over the former president, 44% to 34%. Nearly 20% of respondents said they would choose a different candidate and 4% would not vote.
The results show a decline in support for Trump over the past few months, after a March poll found he received 38% support, while still trailing Biden by 5 percentage points.
When asked who they would rather see as the 2024 GOP nominee, DeSantis or Trump, 63% said DeSantis would have their vote, while only 36% were rooting for Trump…

According to the poll, 67% of respondents do not think Biden should seek another term in the White House. Among Democrats, 53% do not think the president should run in 2024.

It will be Buttijudge.
Right now, TPTB seem to prefer Gavin Newsome vs Ron DeSantis.
We’ll see.

Yet Trump still outpolls DeSantis among Republicans
Won’t be Newsome. He is too white and male. The democrats have been captured by the QWERTY crowd.
Its Biden vs Trump in 2024 unless either have a health problem. Taking out twitter is 7 point +Trump. NBC news closing shop is another 2 +Trump.
Basicaly the risk is geopolitical to Biden, the challenge isn’t there yet. Russia might not rise to any real concern. A china national party collapse might be the black swan event for the 2020s.
DeSantis will be the nominee.
What a joke poll..
I heard it here first!
As far as I’m concerned, I hope these poles (sic) are long and pointy, and that their authors sit on them and rotate. They’re just tools to manipulate the public, not an expression of vox populi.
Yes, but he’s faggy which appeals to many liberals.
I don’t think so, Tim
newsome
Push polling trying to make the reality they want….
Not gonna happen
Let me reiterate, Trump should compete for House Speaker, rather than sit on his behind for another two years. There’s always the WH if he chooses in 2024. Why not do something for the Country NOW, and build a record to run on in 2024?
‘...Marquette Law School poll...’
ROFL...
What’s your skinny on NBC closing up shop ? I’d like to think no one watches, but reality is not as encouraging. Mainstream still has some pull.
Regardless, Twitter will clearly help
Ballot mining is a bigger deal, where legal.
