Former President Trump continues to dominate the Republican primary field and would beat President Biden in a general election, according to a new poll.
If the 2024 Republican presidential primary were held today, Trump would win with 52% of voters.
His nearest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would lag 40 points behind with just 12%, while Vivek Ramaswamy, a biopharmaceutical entrepreneur, rounded out the top three with 10% support, according to the Harvard-Harris poll released Friday.
Trump would beat Biden in a head-to-head matchup by a margin of 45 to 40 percent — with a crucial 16% of voters undecided.
His margin over Vice President Harris would be an even more yawning 47 to 38 percent.
The survey revealed wide discontentment with both major party candidates, however, with 70% of voters hungry for another option.
DeSantis remained the overall GOP favorite should Trump decide to get out of the race, the survey showed.
The findings also show a full 68% of Americans said they felt President Biden, 80, is “showing he is too old to be president.”
A further 64% of those polled said he should not seek a second term. Trump is 77.
Among election issues, inflation and the economy remained an overriding concern among voters.
More than 3 out of 4 said they have been impacted by inflation.
Six out of 10 cited the economy or inflation as their primary issue.
Large majorities of Democrats and Republicans said they would like to see political candidates focus more on “bread-and-butter” issues instead of divisive culture war concerns.

Well, okay. I think Trump is our best bet for 2024. But that margin is not near good enough. Any Republican candidate with less than 55% of the vote will be overwhelmed by all the cheating.
And the 55% number I quoted above is probably too low.
Thanks, GOP elite. Thanks for doing nothing about the cheating.
In case we haven’t learned from the last two election cycles, it’s the people counting the votes.
“with a crucial 16% of voters undecided.” ‘Undecided” about what? An invasion at the border, Biden’s senility and dementia, his corrupt family, Hunter and Brandon’s pedophilia, WHAT?
From now on when you hear undecided, it means fake ballots. This is the way they cover their tracks! The fix is in folks 16% is a lot of undecided people or shall I say dead people. They are starting early and I bet you those 16% already voted and have their ballots stashed in a warehouse ready to move them out election night into a ballot box somewhere in the inner cities. Bank on it.
Discounting voter fraud I don’t think Biden will see an increase in his votes. People were tired of endless Trump news and covid and thought Biden would be “normal”. Well nothing went back to normal and Trump might have been a loud mouth but he didn’t fall down stairs, slur all his words and do cocaine in the White House.
Why does it seem that the “undecided” voters ALWAYS vote 100% Democrat? It almost looks like MASSIVE INTENTIONAL VOTER FRAUD.
Along with ballot shenanigans, the Marxists will have Trump jailed without bail awaiting trial for trumped up charges—just before the primaries. Americans will see this as a spectacle like a political Superbowl and ignore its threat to the Republic. Otherwise, I would be investing in pitchforks and torches because American would rather be entertained.
Instead, I’m going to recommend investing in emergency supply kits.
Doesn’t matter, dems have mastered stealing elections.
Polls use outdated techniques with flawed assumptions.
As long as there are cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification, it will be the same story for the presidency and congressional elections: the conservative will be ahead on the night of Election 'Day,' and then a slow-walk of counting cheat-by-mail-ins for a week will put the Marxist in the lead.
Trump beats biden AGAIN. There, now it reads correctly. And they cheat AGAIN, and Trump “loses” again.
Right! The key is a “fair” election, which we don’t have anymore.
He’d have won last time if there hadn’t been cheating. America is no better than third world countries.
People love Trump because he stood up against the swamp.
And that’s why the swamp wants him dead.
I think the swamp will settle for incarcerated. But, failing that, I shudder to think of what they might do.
