Former President Donald Trump has opened up a 41-point lead over the rest of the Republican primary field, according to Morning Consult, marking his largest advantage yet in the polling outfit’s weekly “2024 GOP Primary Tracker” poll.

The poll published Tuesday, shows that a clear majority of 60 percent of potential Republican primary voters back Trump for the nomination, while Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) sits in second place at 19 percent. The gap between them grew a net seven points compared to last week when Trump held 56 percent support to DeSantis’s 22 percent. Moreover, the divide has widened 21 points since mid-February, when Trump’s support registered at 50 percent, and DeSantis had 30 percent.

No other candidate reaches double digits in the latest poll. Five percent of respondents back former Vice President Mike Pence, while another five percent support businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) has three percent support, and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is at two percent.

Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Kristi Noem (R-SD), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) each garner just one percent support.

The poll also asked Trump and DeSantis voters who their second choices were, finding they take the lion’s share of each other’s support. Of Trump backers, 42 percent identify DeSantis as their second choice, while 15 percent say Pence and 10 percent say Ramaswamy. Haley is the second option among four percent of Trump

Moreover, Morning Consult gauged potential general election match-ups between each of the first- and second-place Republicans and President Joe Biden. In a rematch of the 2020 election, Biden takes 44 percent to Trump’s 42 percent, while 10 percent would back someone else, and 4 percent do not know who they would support.

Biden performs better against DeSantis. Again, he takes 44 percent of the vote, while 40 percent back the Florida governor. Another nine percent would vote for another person, while four percent are undecided.

Maybe he can be POTUS while in jail like the Mafia bosses continued to run their organizations from prison. Talk about firsts!

DJT could take 100% of the Republican vote and still lose in a landslide. He needs the vast majority of the Independent vote and for the Democrats to have a massive drop in turn out to even have a chance to overcome the fraud in 2024.

These polls mean nothing . . .

It seems obvious a lot of folks just want to lose with Trump in 2024.

Ron DeSantis took on Disney and couldn’t win. He would collapse if put in the arena with Putin and Xi.

If Trump loses in 2024, any other candidate you could name just loses as well, but by a bigger margin.

Plus, the Dems are inventing new ways to steal the election as we write. We are always fighting the last election war — stopping mail-in votes, cleaning voter rolls, signature verification, doing our own “ballot harvesting.” But what new cheats will they come up with?

Victor Hanson thinks they are going to ask Zuckerberg for $500 million this time AND probably get another $500 billion from some other far left billionaire.

At this point in 2007, Hillary and Giuliani were leading by more than 20 points.

Yup. Except in this case the crime bosses would be on the outside and the good guy would be on the inside.

Perhaps true.

But neither one didn't have two election victories(minus the fraud) and eight long years of the establishment throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them.

I HIGHLY CONCUR!! But we must also not forget that the cheating is going to be off the charts! Get a hold of yourself because the rats who are so devious and evil, are going to use the massive invasion of folk coming into our land as votes! I am telling everybody right here. Please mark down the date and the time that I am telling you this ….Biden is going to WIN a second term by hook or crook. They’re going to get him in there one way or the other. And there ain’t chit you and I can do about it! They have perfected the GREAT STEAL and If you even dare cry fraud they’ll throw the book at you!. Again I’ll say it …THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT EVER as long as this nation exists. Sorry but that’s the truth because our RNC RINOS backstabbing anti-base scummy evil money, power hungry POS are exactly like the evil demon RATS! Except the rats are more devilish smarter.

Youre right, and everyone knows the same thing. As soon as an illegal crosses he gets his free obama phone, obama care, EBT card, free school for the kids, free housing voucher, plane ticket and a voter registration card. They signed up 10,000 yesterday.
