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…
DeSantis also led among Republican-identifying respondents, receiving 55% support over 45% who would like to see Trump representing the party...
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.
Among all respondents, 55% disapprove of Biden…

Why do they care if Bidung runs again? He is clearly not in charge, and who ever replaces him, the same dude running the teleprompter now will still be running the teleprompter
It seems they are polling the establishment, but not the voters. Trump has made some unforced errors that diminish his viability, but DeSantis has not yet broken through the establishment mold image (in my humble opinion) to show he is the natural heir to the conservative (as opposed to republican) support.
I’m troubled by Trump’s recent decisions, but I am also willing to wait to understand his reasoning for those decisions (which the media never convey accurately) to understand why the decisions were made.
“Trump should compete for House Speaker”
I would love that, but that would be an existential threat to the fiefdoms and incomes of the party elites on both sides so it will never ever…ever ever ever happen, and is why even today so much precious time and energy and money and resources are dedicated not to improving the general condition of the country, but instead on endless investigations with the singular goal of preventing him from even running as there is a risk that they may not be able to cheat enough
What do politicians do when they're gearing up to run for office?
Release a book, that's what.
Guess what DeSantis will be doing next February?
I’d like to see a Biden/Fetterman ticket. With debates. Lots of debates.
Huh?
Most likely.
Since everything from polls to rigged elections are manufactured for the benefit of the establishment, DJT ought to just announce he will be running as an independent.
“Among all respondents, 55% disapprove of Biden…”
The worst president in my lifetime by far and only 55% disapprove of him? This country is screwed...
More Fox shilling for DeSantis, who is not a candidate. It’s all theater.
no, this poll is screwy. a push poll of sorts.
desantis is NOT the savior the rinocrats are trying to paint him as...
they have dirt on him to throttle him or they would NOT be driving him harder than trump in a hammer contest.
desantis needs to keep his word and remain the governor in FLA, until his term is up.
Fox News poll. The Anti Trump Faux News.
Pete “Buttgiggity” Buttigieg.
What percentage of Dem voters possess the capability to “think”?
I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Push polling = professional grade gaslighting
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Those are the facts.
They say Biden shouldn’t run but they don’t say who should replace him on the ballot.

Word on the Street is the ‘rat candidate is going to be California’s Commie Governor.
I dont care which, Trump or DeSantis gets the nod, neither one will win the general.
