According to a new Zogby Analytics poll, former President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead in a hypothetical Gop primary campaign in 2024.
In the hypothetical primary battle, Trump leads Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) by double digits, 47 percent to 28 percent, according to the poll. However, the study found that DeSantis’ popularity has grown tremendously since May, when he received only 12% of the vote.
The poll revealed that Trump leads among the majority of the polled groups, including all regions, particularly the South (52%), urban voters (53%), younger voters aged 18-29 (58%), female voters (49%), non-college educated voters (53%), Hispanic voters (58%), Generation Z (62%), Millennial (56%) and Generation X voters (60%) while DeSantis has a two-point advantage among independent voters.
Former Vice President Mike Pence came in third with 8% support, while the remaining probable contenders received less than 5% support.
When Trump is removed from the equation, DeSantis has a substantial double-digit advantage with 48 percent support, followed by Pence with 21 percent.
The poll was conducted among 864 probable GOP primary voters between November 9 and 11, 2022.
Despite the fact that the poll shows DeSantis leading in a scenario in which Trump is not there, such scenario is unlikely to occur, given that Trump formally declared his 2024 presidential candidacy last month.
Trump portrayed the years under Biden as a “period of misery, sorrow, fear, and despair” as Americans grappled with rising costs and an inflow of illegal immigrants.
“We’re here tonight to say it doesn’t have to be this way,” Trump declared. “We were a great nation two years ago, and we will soon be a great nation again.”
“The decline that Biden and the extreme left lunatics are forcing on us is pushing us right here into the ground. This is not the fate we must accept. When offered a bold and clear option, I think the American people will reject the left’s route to national disaster and embrace our vision for national strength and glory,” he continued.
Meanwhile, DeSantis has showed no signs of running in 2024, but the fact that he has not explicitly denied the speculation has irritated Trump, who accused the Florida governor of “playing games.” DeSantis, on the other hand, has rejected concerns of a “civil war” between the two, declining to reply to Trump and instead telling reporters who questioned him that “people just need to chill out.”
DeSantis is right!!! Chill the fuq out. Y’all creating a nonexistent mess for Trump n his ally DeSantis. WHY??!!?? These two men are good friends from the same side. So, why create BS where there’s none!!! You fuq trolls are going to fuq up two great men. These two men can accomplish great things for our country. SO STOP THE BS N EFFING CHILL!!!
You are 100 percent correct.
You are so RIGHT, agree with you 100% President Trump was the best President for all of the “Americans People”, but we are being out numbered with the flow of illegal aliens and the democrats in charge love it.
DOESN’T THE LEFT DEMORATS REALIZE BY NOW, THAT EVERYTHING THEY DO AGAINST TRUMP / AMERICA, ONLY MAKE PRSIDENT TRUMP STRONGER! WHAT A BINCH OF “TREASONOUS” ASSHOLES.
Trump and DeSantis need to be allies and work together.
Not against each other.
If they work together.
One of them can be President and the other one Vice President.
They Both Can Make
America Great Again
“In 2024”.
Trump and DeSantis are able to work together, but the Dems of course are trying to antagonize their relationship. There is no end to their nastiness.
Dems want us to believe Trump doesn’t lead amongst Independents. Well, as a professional, educated female , I and all my family and friends are all Independents and ALL ROCK SOLID TRUMP SUPPORTERS. We are not stupid.
This article and its comments are all great- BUT- it misses the 500 lb. gorilla in the room. Who ends up being the GOP nominee for 2024 is less important than how that candidate will do in the general election. Trump has been badly mistreated, trashed, smeared, etc. Trump is also his own worst enemy and much of what he endured was due to his naive arrogance and horrible choices for cabinet, as well as taking advice from Bitch McRINO. You don’t run and win on draining the Swamp and then hire a bunch of them to be your allies, as well as leaving the DOJ intact and not cleaning house. Trump can mobilize Dems and turn off squishy Repubes far more than any other GOP candidate. People are stupid, as we just saw 4 weeks ago, and they can easily be deceived, scared to death or paid off with scams like loan “forgiveness”. GOP needs to run a candidate who can cut through that and deftly destroy the opposition without looking or sounding vulgar. Given the pathetic bench the Dems have, any decent candidate should be able to beat them in a landslide. But never underestimate the stupidity, laziness and greed of American voters or the GOP’s unique ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Screw DeSaints. However his stand on the Jabberwokie is correct.
