Former President Donald Trump leads Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by almost 20 points in a hypothetical 2024 Republican primary matchup, according to a poll.
A Morning Consult Poll released Tuesday shows that 49 percent of potential GOP primary voters support Trump in his bid for the nomination, placing him 18 points ahead of his nearest competitor, DeSantis, at 31 percent. No other potential challenger eclipsed the ten percent mark.
2024 National Republican Primary:

Pence 8%
Haley 2%
Cheney 2%
Cruz 2%
Abbott 1%

Eight percent of the respondents support former President Mike Pence, placing him in third place, followed by former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who each drew two percent of the participants’ support. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX), Kristi Noem (R-SD), and Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) each garnered one percent support.
Of DeSantis supporters, 37 percent say that their second choice is Trump, while 15 percent would back Pence if the Florida governor does not run, according to the poll. Cruz picks up 11 percent of DeSantis’s supporters in that scenario, while 9 percent move to Haley. Similarly, the second choice among 43 percent of Trump backers is DeSantis, while 18 percent say they would vote for Pence if Trump were not in the race. Another nine percent would back Cruz, and three percent would support Haley.
In the poll focusing on the 2024 GOP primary, Morning Consult sampled 4,125 potential primary voters from December 9-11. It has a margin of error of plus or minus two percent.

Wow.. that’s a near 30% swing in two days! These two year out polls are shedding a lot of light on the subject.
“potential primary GOP voters”? Not likely primary voters? Not Iowa or New Hampshire GOP voters? This is a skewed poll.
Rut row, prepare all battle stations. Protect the outer flanks for incoming.
The new Congress hasn’t even been seated yet.
Polls this far out mean nothing, or than starting smack on echo chambers.
That doesn’t matter. It’s what the Beltway thinks that matters. The people are reckless and irresponsible. Mitch knows who should best represent us at the feet of Chuck Schumer.
Trump is a loser. He’s no longer a winner. Main part of appeal is that he was a winner his whole life.
99.9% of everything on the media is anti- Trump, but still half the Republicans love the guy.
I was warming to DeSantis since the election a month ago. But then I saw just who I would be getting in bed with if I supported him (the NeverTrumpes, Leftists, etc.), so back to Trump...Trump WILL get my vote in 2024.
(I wish Ukraine supporters would consider who they are in bed with...)
Yes but Trump supporters always vote. Like me. I vote every time. Ever since I registered in Georgia at age 18.
This poll is BS because until the Dems are stopped from stealing elections, it doesn’t matter and there will never be another Republican or Conservative president.
Here we go. All the Trumpers who said polls are nonsense earlier today when the Desantis poll came out will now say this poll is legit. What clowns we have become.
Polls this far out mean nothing, or than starting smack on echo chambers.
“Trump WILL get my vote in 2024”.
Your vote will be stolen by the Rats/Deep State and go to somebody like Newsome.
Already started...
“Your vote will be stolen by the Rats/Deep State and go to somebody like Newsome.”
Perhaps so, but if I vote, they will need to cheat that much harder.
...but nice try!
Trump will not be POTUS in 2025....he needs to go away.
The Hate campaign against Trump has worked so well on so many here.
With feckless FRiends, who needs enemies?
No, this is not true. The Democrats and RINOs are telling me I should switch horses.
They have polls that say so too.
