Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) leads former President Trump by 23 points among Republicans in a hypothetical GOP presidential primary, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The USA Today-Suffolk University poll found that 56 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters prefer DeSantis, while only 33 percent would support Trump. More than 60 percent said they want a nominee who will continue Trump’s policies but is not Trump, while 31 percent want the former president to run.
“Republicans and conservative independents increasingly want Trumpism without Trump,” said David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
Trump became the first major candidate to jump in the race for the White House in 2024 last month, but some signs have indicated his control over the GOP may be weakening.
He has received blame from members of his own party for the GOP’s disappointing performance in the midterm elections. Many of the candidates he endorsed in key races lost after defeating primary opponents who were seen as more electable but less loyal to Trump…..

The poll also found Trump’s favorable rating among Republicans dropping from 75 percent in October to 64 percent in December. His unfavorable rating has also risen from 18 percent to 23 percent in that time.
Pollsters found President Biden leading a hypothetical head-to-head match-up with Trump, 47 percent to 40 percent. DeSantis led Biden in the poll by about 4 points, 47 percent to 43 percent.
Almost two-thirds of GOP and GOP-leaning voters want DeSantis to run for president in 2024, while only 24 percent do not want him to….
Five ThirtyEight/Iposos Poll also has Trump falling behind DeSantis….
- Half of Americans feel unfavorably towards the Democratic Party (50%) and the Republican party (53%).
- Similarly, the parties’ de facto leaders are unfavorable to a majority of Americans, although Joe Biden is slightly less unfavorable than Donald Trump (55% vs. 63%). This is in part due to a higher share of Republicans viewing Trump as unfavorable (27%) than Democrats viewing Biden as unfavorable (17%).
- Looking ahead to 2024, Democrats are split over who they would like to be the Democratic nominee between Joe Biden (16%), Kamala Harris (13%), and Pete Buttigieg (10%). However, a plurality (25%) say they don’t know who they want to win the nomination.
- Republicans, on the other hand, are more coalesced around Trump (30%) and DeSantis (36%), with slightly more saying they want DeSantis to be the party’s nominee in 2024 at this time…
