The poll published on Tuesday shows that 56 percent of potential Republican primary voters back Trump for the nomination. He sits 34 points ahead of DeSantis, who has not announced a White House bid, at 22 percent. DeSantis has gained slightly compared to last week’s poll, which had him and the 45th president at 24 percent and 58 percent, respectively.

Beyond Trump and DeSantis, no other candidate commands double-digit support. Seven percent of respondents back former Vice President Mike Pence, followed by former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) in fourth place with four percent. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswmy is backed by three percent of the respondents, followed by former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) at two percent.
Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Kristi Noem (R-SD) tie at two percent, while Gov. Glen Youngkin (R-VA), who has declared he will not run, and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) did not secure one percent of support.
Morning Consult also asked Trump and DeSantis supporters who their second choice would be. They both took strong pluralities of one another’s voters, with 44 percent of Trump backers identifying DeSantis as their second option and 42 percent of DeSantis supporters saying they would back Trump if the governor does not run.

Democrats still think Bush stole 2000, so whatever floats you boat.
I think the Republicans need to dump Trump and Desantis. There’s 1% chance of Trump beating Biden and Desantis has about twice those odds.
I’ve given up on 2024.
You'd rather give up than to even mention The Steal.
Whatever floats your boat.
And is better looking.
I have not heard him comment on that subject but he does tackle other issues straight on.
Where’s The Meatball?
Meatball ain’t it.
“Meatball ain’t it.”
Vivek Ramaswamy. Pretty much the smartest and most charismatic of the bunch.
“Vivek Ramaswamy”
A Vivek-Nikki ticket?
Win what exactly? Trump has an outside chance of stopping the destruction of the Republic. Most candidates don’t even realize there is a problem (as evidenced by thinking 2020 was just a typical election).
You are correct. I’m not exactly sure why he thinks winning is so urgent if he doesn’t think he’s dealing with the type of people who rigged an election. It was top to bottom to be honest. Changing all of the mail in voting rules in June or July is all the proof needed of the rigging but you have the huge dumps, the obvious rigging of voter “turn” out, bs skewed machines, refusing to cover the election, the issues, suppressing evidence. If you REALLY think there is nothing that can be done about any of that then you’ve lost any argument about which candidate is needed. You don’t even know what to look for.
