Republican voters favor DeSantis over Trump in new poll (64% - 36%)
NBC News ^ | 01/26/2023 | Alexandra Marquez

In a hypothetical presidential matchup, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis would garner more support against President Joe Biden than former President Donald Trump would, a new poll from Marquette University finds.

Forty-five percent of registered voters preferred DeSantis, versus 38% of registered voters who preferred Biden in a hypothetical matchup between the two.

In a hypothetical contest between Biden and Trump, the two were even, each gaining 40% of registered voters' preference.

Just among Republican voters and independents who lean Republican, DeSantis had a slightly higher favorability rating. Seventy-one percent of those voters said they have a favorable view of DeSantis, while 70% said they had a favorable view of Trump.

Among that same group of voters, ten percent said they had an unfavorable view of DeSantis while 28% had an unfavorable view of Trump.

Republican voters and Republican-leaning independent voters also preferred DeSantis as the eventual Republican presidential nominee over Trump by 28 percentage points, as 64% of this group of voters preferred DeSantis as the nominee, compared to 36% who said they preferred Trump to be the nominee.

Marquette University polling conducted from Jan. 9 through Jan. 20.

By contrast, the last Marquette poll released on December 1st had DeSantis beating Trump 60% - 40%

DeSantis has moved up four while Trump has fallen four percent.

DeSantis beats Biden 45% -38%, up from a 42% tie for both in December's polling.

The good news for Trump is in this poll he ties Biden with each man at 40%, up from December's Marquette polling where Trump was losing to Biden 44%-34%.

Long story short. Trump now ties Biden where he used to lose to him while DeSantis trounces Biden and expands his lead over Trump for the primary battle.

Governor Ron DeSantis is the future of the Republican Party.

I am not really surprised at this, so early in the “campaign season.”

Sure in 2028. If he runs in 24 against Trump he gets crushed and ends his career as a laughing stock.

He’s not dumb enough to run against Trump. Only his supporters are that dumb

Are we only allowed to post the polling that shows Trump beating DeSantis?

Yes, welcome to FR - the only polls that are accurate are the ones you agree with :)

Not the basis of my comment. It was merely directed at the source of the poll. Believe their cr@p at your own peril.

TRUMP is destined to be president. His job is not finished, and DeSantis would be wise to support him.

You will find out if this is true when and if DeSantis runs. No use starting flame wars over polls designed to do just that.

Trump is finished. We appreciate his time in office but he lost round 2 and he's done. Time for DeSantis!

Trump won in 2016 with many former Obama voters voting for him over Hillary Clinton.

Ron DeSantis flipped former blue strongholds in Florida red, undoubtedly earning the votes of many Floridians who voted for Andrew Gillum four years prior.

Republicans need independent voters to win elections. Always have. The diehard base isn't enough.

It’s a tight race between political pollsters and economic forecasters to see who can change direction more often.
