With Donald Trump gearing up to mount another bid for the White House, a new poll shows Republicans’ waning interest in the former president and his stock significantly weakened among GOP voters.
The New York Times-Siena College poll found that a clear majority – 64%- of primary voters under the age of 35, and 65% of those who hold a college degree, told pollsters they would vote for someone other than Trump in the 2024 primaries. This is of particular concern for Trump and his allies, as these demographics are strong indicators of candidate preference among big-money donors.
A growing number of Republicans are also moving away from Trump due to revelations from the Jan. 6 committee. While 75% of likely primary voters say Trump was “just exercising his right to contest the election,” almost 20% say he “went so far that he threatened American democracy.”
Don’t get the wrong idea: Trump is still the leading Republican candidate in 2024. In a hypothetical five-way primary matchup, Trump received more support than any other candidate – 49%. Trump’s main rival is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who younger voters and those with a college degree are increasingly getting behind. Even better news for DeSantis is that almost a quarter of Republicans say they don’t know enough about DeSantis to give him their vote, meaning the governor still has a lot of room to increase his support versus Trump.

Apparently the Jan 6 propaganda machine is working. How sad.
Boruch Hashem, people get some sense knocked into their heads!
The only chance that Biden has of winning is if Trump runs against him.
However, a good republican candidate pales in comparison to the true ruler whom we are waiting for – Melech Hamoshiach, והי’ ה’ למלך על כל הארץ. May he come speedily in our days!

For those Conservatives who want President Trump not to run:
1. Remember that even milk toast George W. Bush was called H*tler during his presidency.
2. The Left has already started campaigns saying President Trump was bad but Governor DeSantis worse than President Trump.
3. Anecdotally: I’ve spoken to some Left leaning centrists and asked them whether they would vote for Biden or Trump and then whether they would vote for Biden or DeSantis. In both cases, despite Former Vice President Biden having dementia and ruining the country with his policies, they couldn’t answer who they would vote for. So I’m not convinced that many more non-Republicans will vote DeSantis but not Trump.
You will never please the Left. They are insane.
Believe nothing by the NYT or anything trump related by YWN
Trump better win. We leave a seat empty at our table for Trump. My son calls him Eliyahu HaNavi (so cute) because he can do anything. My kids like to face the Trump doll on the piano when they Daven. Such nachas.
