According to the results of a national poll that was published on Wednesday, former President Donald J. Trump is currently in the lead for the nomination of the Republican Party in 2024 over his probable primary opponents.
In the poll conducted by Morning Consult and Politico, 849 registered voters were asked who they would choose in the hypothetical primary race for 2024. Trump, who has made an official announcement regarding his candidacy, received 45 percent of their support, which places him 15 points ahead of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who received 30 percent of their support. No other Republican candidate even reached the double-digit mark.
Seven percent of respondents indicated that they are in favor of former Vice President Mike Pence, while three percent said they would vote for Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chair of the January 6 Select Committee, as well as former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and unsuccessful presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), each received two percent of the responses.
Following the release of another 2024 primary poll on Tuesday by Emerson College Polling, which showed Trump with a 30-point advantage against DeSantis among registered voters, the survey that was conducted on Wednesday followed suit. In comparison, Trump received 55.1% of the responses, while DeSantis received 24.8%. There was not a single other contender who was able to surpass the criterion of ten percent.
Both polls were carried out after Trump made his announcement of his intention to run for president again in 2024 at his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, where he also made the promise that the best days for the United States are still to come.
“Our nation used to be fantastic. No longer a great nation, the United States of America is currently a source of ridicule around the world. However, our nation has the potential to become much more prosperous and powerful than it has ever been before,” stated Trump.
Trump later made the following promise: “If our movement remains united and confident, then we will shatter the forces of tyranny, and we will unleash the glories of liberty for ourselves, for our children, and for generations yet to come.” (Our Movement Will Shatter the Forces of Tyranny If Our Movement Remains United and Confident) “The Golden Age of America is right around the corner.”
The most recent poll conducted by Morning Consult and Politico discovered that respondents had an extremely pessimistic outlook on the path that the country is taking, and that President Joe Biden’s popularity rating is at an all-time low.
Seventy-two percent of registered voters in 2018 who participated in the poll are of the opinion that the country is moving in the wrong path. Only 42 percent of those polled are either “somewhatapproving” (24 percent) or “stronglyapproving” (18 percent) of Biden’s performance as vice president. On the other hand, a majority of registered voters (55 percent) do not approve of Biden’s job as president, with a plurality of 39 percent “strongly” disapproving of Biden’s performance in this role.
The poll was conducted between November 18-20, 2018, and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points. The sample size was 2018 registered voters.
