Former President Donald Trump holds a double-digit lead in a hypothetical 2024 Republican primary, a Big Village survey released this week found.
The survey asked Republicans who they would prefer in 2024, allowing them to choose between Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former Vice President Mike Pence, and others.
Over half, 51 percent, chose Trump, followed by DeSantis, who garnered 27 percent support — a 24-point difference. Ten percent chose Pence, and 13 percent chose someone else:

When asked the same question with Trump out of contention, DeSantis takes the lead with 45 percent. Pence does not come close, garnering 23 percent support. Another 14 percent chose Sen. Ted Cruz, and 18 percent chose somebody else.
Notably, President Biden does not enjoy as much support from the Democrat base as Trump does from the Republican base, as just 37 percent of Democrats said they want to see Biden as the Democrat nominee in 2024.
The survey was taken among 1,000 adults and has a +/- 3.1 percent margin of error.
It coincides with a recent McLaughlin & Associates survey, showing Trump holding a double-digit advantage — 15 points — over DeSantis, his closest potential competitor.
As Breitbart News reported:
McLaughlin & Associates sampled 480 likely GOP primary voters from December 9-14, finding that 48 percent support Trump in his 2024 bid. He holds a 15 point advantage over his closest potential competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), whom 23 percent of respondents support. Former Vice President Mike Pence sits in third place,

If only I could be confident that the next Presidential election will not be as FUBAR and corrupt as the last one.
we do not have any hope at all that the next election will magically be fair and honest
even the R party does absolutely nothing significant to free up our elections from the DemoNaziCommie party bosses’ control
absent its elimination, the DNC Election Theft machine will continue forever. why not? there’s nothing to stop it AND it works just great for the DNC
they’ll keep it in control forever now
If Trump wins the nomination he needs to do a much better job picking people to lead agencies and White House Staff.
He’s terrible at picking people.
But I thought Trump was finished.
More evidence that the establishment (DNC, RNC, establishment) are terrified that Trump will win in 2024 which is the reason for the entire Jan 6th trials.
Got to keep him off the ballot.
JMHO
All the more reason the DOJ will indict him.
The J6 fraud committee and DOJ fraud unit will team up and continue to frame DJT.
I won’t believe another poll. Ever. They’re always wrong.

They can't be exact but enough of them give some indications
of what the sentiment appears to be. Granted polls can be used
to project a selected topic but they still help, imo.
‘I won’t believe another poll. Ever. They’re always wrong.”
Not a poll. A survey of opt-in members.
He won't need to worry about this.
If Trump wins the nomination, he doesn't flip a single state he lost in 2020 and it'll be his victorious Democrat opponent staffing the White House.

DeSantis won’t be able to flip those swing states.
He’s a foreign policy interventionist and a free trade Republican.(DeSantis works for the public sector, that’s how he earns his pay)
They’re a dime a dozen.
Well, they need to make up more lies, drag it thru the media, spin, spin.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
DeSantis isn't toxic to independents and swing voters like Trump now is.
In his landslide re-election, DeSantis actually demonstrated the ability to bring independents and former Democrat voters over to his side, while retaining Trump's MAGA base and compromising none of his positions.
DeSantis wins Georgia, Arizona, and possibly even Virginia.

Which would give him a 272-266 electoral advantage.(If he wins the Republican nomination)
I’m not buying it but I’m glad we have dreamers, its good for morale.
Well to be fair I don’t think it matters who wins the GOP nomination. As long as the FBI doesn’t approve of him/her they won’t win no matter what.
If the GOP tries to cheat like democrats...the FBI will investigate and DOJ prosecute. If democrats cheat they will just sit back and let them. So GOP is screwed no matter what.
Well, I can dream that DeSantis might win or I can face reality that Trump most certainly will not.
“If Trump wins the nomination he needs to do a much better job picking people to lead agencies and White House Staff.

Agree and so far it looks like he hasn’t learned from his mistakes. You’re not going to drain the Swamp if you put swamp creatures on the Supreme Court, head of the DOJ, director of the FBI or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff .
DeSantis isn’t a candidate, whereas President Trump has announced that he is running.
