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:

Haley 2%
Cheney 2%
Cruz 2%

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.

No, he is not a loser. Races were stolen. No other candidate or public figure could endure what he has.
No, he was not always a winner—I believe he had some bad real estate deals and he came back...I am confident he will comeback from any setbacks 2 years out.
No, his appeal is that he cared about the country, put America first. He spoke for we the people like no other in my lifetime.
I am tired of people dissing him...
Just like brandon, you are insulting at least half of Free Republic.
rottendog says so too.
MinorityRepublican says so too.
Well, there you have it.
May as well just read some good fiction until 2024 since the election has been called here on FR.
When we select our candidate, we support him (or her, conceivably).
We are well over a year and a half before our POTUS primaries.
Polls are interesting, however nothing is settled until the primary votes are counted.

Trump has always been his own worst enemy.
Liars figure and figures lie.
Use your common sense Padawan.
hisself??
Polls held in 2022 for 2024 primaries are useless. There’s a lot that can and will happen between now and the first primary.
That was 2020. Now it is 2022. Soon it will be 2024. Trump has no chance. Time to move on. Go with DeSantis.
They aren’t polling anyone. Not even these fools are going to waste millions on this. No one is checking their work. Just come out with believable numbers and wrote a story. Desanctimonius is only getting glowing press. Trump would be at 80 or 90 if he got such press. Of course Trump won’t get such press because he’s an actual threat to their power. Another telling thing is that the GOPe doesn’t seemnto advocate for the policies that they claim makes Desanctimonius so popular and that’s because they would never want those policies nationwide
Sorry scro
I read a poll today that said Ron lead Don by 24%. Cannot believe any of these polls and MSM articles.
Lol. Thanks for the advice, noob.
DeSantis isn’t gonna run ...
WOOF!
Ron’s not gonna run ...
Are you saying 2022 was a fair election?
Guess you are not watching RAV tv...
And now one of the oracles of FR has deemed that Trump has no chance, and told us it is time to move on...And also told us who to “go with.” Wow thanks for all those declarative statements...
Sorry, it is 2 years out, not time to move on.
Lots of political lifetimes in 2 years.
I don’t think anyone here appreciates being told what to do...
