In the latest Morning Consult Poll, it was found that former President Donald Trump is not only viewed as more electable than Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis by Republican primary voters, but he also enjoys a 37-point lead – his largest ever – in the primary race.
The poll found Trump with support from 58% of Republican primary voters, whereas DeSantis got just 21% support. Other candidates were left in the proverbial dust, with Mike Pence receiving 7% support, Nikki Haley, Liz Cheney, and Vivek Ramaswamy getting 3%, and five candidates garnering support from just 1% – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Senator Tim Scott, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
The Morning Consult poll found that Trump’s strength even extends to the general election. Among the 11 possible GOP candidates, Trump received the strongest support in a matchup with Joe Biden, and he hold a 29% lead over DeSantis over voters’ perceived electability.
“By a large margin, potential Republican primary voters say that it’s Trump who has the best chance of defeating President Joe Biden in the general election,” Morning Consult Poll analyst Cameron Easley wrote.
“The demographic makeup of the potential GOP primary electorate is revealing on this front. Confidence in Trump’s electability is more pronounced among the voters who were chiefly responsible for his success in 2016: white voters without a college degree, who constitute the bulk of the GOP electorate in our sampling. A majority of them (60%) say Trump has the best chance of defeating Biden in 2024, compared with just 40% of college-educated whites in the potential primary electorate.
“DeSantis, meanwhile, is seen as the most electable candidate by 22% of whites without a college degree and by 36% of college-educated whites.”

“Yea, Hi , it’s Don, look the poll is not looking good, can you find a way for me to have more votes? Come on I know you can make it happen ;)”
Then Don you have the nerve to tell your naive followers that the election was fraudulent? Can you just disappear for good, please!
The investigation was opened in early 2021 after a call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger became public. In that call, Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to make Trump the victor in the state. Joe Biden won the state by more than 11,000 votes.
“In the near future, I will announce charging decisions resulting from the investigation my office has been conducting into possible criminal interference in the administration of Georgia’s 2020 General Election.”
The Georgia District Attorney in charge of an election fraud case centered on former US President Donald Trump and his allies says that charges will likely be issued during the next term of court, which runs from July 11 to September 1.
Polls this early out are typically meaningless.
And that’s the case whether we’re talking about mayoral, state house, gubernatorial, congressional, senatorial or presidential races. Both for primaries and general elections.
Polls this early are completely meaningless, especially one in which DeSantis hasn’t even declared yet. Watch Trump drop like a rock once DeSantis is officially in.
Why does anyone still believe these polls. They’re here to suppress voter turnout
As a registered Republican over 20 years, Why was I never polled ?
It’s only common sense that DeSantis is running above Trump. Something tells these polls are bogus.
why not
