Trump Has Double-digit Lead in 2004 GOP Primary

Trump’s former President is leading by a double-digit margin in the hypothetical 2024 Republican primary. This could be because of potential challengers including Virginia Governor. Morning Consult polls Glenn Youngkin (R) at either one or zero percent.

The survey found Trump leads his potential challengers by a large margin. Nearly half of potential GOP voters, 48 percent, choose Trump for their nominee. 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R. comes in second with 31 percent support. 

Mike Pence, former Vice President, is third with 8 percent support. The rest of the potential challengers are listed at three percent or less. 

Former Rep. Liz Cheney, an Anti-Trumper, received just three percent support. She was followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R. Texas), and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, who each garnered two percent support. 

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), and South Dakota Governor. Kristi Noem (R), former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (R-USA) and Sen. Tim Scott(R-SC) received one percent each. 

Virginia Gov. Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin (R), received zero percent support. One percent also chose “someone else”:

This survey shows little change in the last month. On December 18, Trump was supported by 48 percent. DeSantis’ support has declined from 33 percent over the same time. Nevertheless, DeSantis still stands as the favorite second choice of Trump supporters — 44 percent chose him. DeSantis supporters voted for Trump as second choice by 37 percent. 

A head to head matchup revealed that Trump led Biden by three points. Six percent of respondents remained undecided, and eleven percent chose another candidate. 

The same survey however shows that Biden leads DeSantis by 3 percent in a head-to-head matchup. Seven percent voted for someone else, and eight percent remained undecided. 

Trump continues to boast a strong favorable rating among potential Republican primary voters — 77 percent view him favorably, while 69 percent said the same of DeSantis. Youngkin, polled at zero percent in the hypothetical primary, only 29 percent viewed him favorably. 37% of those polled said they had never heard of Youngkin. 

Morning Consult surveyed 3,763 potential Republican primary voters between January 14-16, 2022. It has a +/– 2 percent margin of error. 

Trump is the only Republican who has officially entered the race. However, that hasn’t stopped him from targeting potential rivals early on. DeSantis has been his focus, although he has not yet indicated whether he will run against Trump. However, he has previously denied This speculation is “purely manufactured.” But Trump’s failure to explicitly state that he will not be running for president has caused tension, even though DeSantis has been clear. dismissed Reports of a “Civil War” Trump between him and himself, but he has not criticized the former president. 

“So, now I hear he might want to run against me. So, we’ll handle that the way I handle things,” Trump recently said, taking credit for helping DeSantis get elected against Democrat Andrew Gillum in 2018. DeSantis is notable It is very narrow defeated That year, the Democrat won by less than 33,000 votes. In 2022, Democrat Charlie Crist was defeated by 1.5 million.
