Former President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead in the hypothetical 2024 Republican primary race in Utah, an OH Predictive Insights survey released this week found.
They survey took an early reading of the general sentiments of Republican Utah voters, over a year ahead of the 2024 presidential primaries.
The survey listed 12 potential candidates, including Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former Vice President Mike Pence, former Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and celebrity Kanye West.
In that field, Trump takes a double-digit lead in the state, besting his closest potential challenger, DeSantis, by 13 percent, or 42 percent to the Florida governor’s 29 percent.
No other candidate came close, as Pence came in third with 11 percent support, followed by Cheney (6 percent), Cruz (3 percent), Haley (3 percent), Rubio (2 percent), Christie (1 percent) and Youngkin (1 percent). Everyone else garnered zero percent support.
“Among the likely suspects to run for president, it’s clear that anyone not named DeSantis or Trump will have an uphill battle to gain traction,” OHPI Chief of Research Mike Noble said in a statement, noting that much could change over the next year.
Per the survey:
Trump out-performs DeSantis by 24 points among 18-54 YO Utah Republicans and DeSantis holds a 5-point advantage over Trump with the 55+ YO’s. Trump also does comparatively better than DeSantis with Female Republicans by a staggering 29 points and is lagging with Male Republicans by 5 points.

Cheney at 6%??? Good lord!
Cruz, Rubio and Youngkin are needed right where they are. We don’t need any of them to run for president in 2024. Maybe later, but not now.

Not me, my position on the 2024 Primaries is: “the more the merrier.”
I want the anti Trump factions in the Republican Party to splinter their vote into little tiny toothpicks, while the Orange Oak Tree racks up delegates in a winner take all system, all the way to the convention.
A crowded field benefits the 45th President, especially if stalking horse candidates arise.
Let's celebrate the victory!
All our problems will be solved...
The Constitution will be restored...
Taxes will be lowered...
Individual freedom & liberty will be restored...
Hooray!
Another victorious poll...
Here we go again... A new sucker is born every minute...
As the jabs take their toll his lead could vanish at warp speed.
Dick or Liz?
Well Liz is a Dick.
Again with multiple candidates.
12 this time?
And Trump only garners 42%? Doesn’t sound like a real blow-out to me.
You mean that state that repeatedly reelects Munt?
They didn’t add Willard?
