We haven’t even made it out of 2022 yet and only one candidate has officially announced his candidacy, but buzz continues to surround the 2024 GOP presidential primaries. Pollsters are polling. Pundits are punditing.
At this stage, the polls are meaningly. In fact, the polls are generally meaningless all the time. But the latest poll shows the only declared candidate, Donald Trump, nearly doubling-up on his nearest opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
According to Daily Wire:
… the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, taken between December 13 – 15 with 1,851 registered voters participating, Trump leads potential Republican primary opponents by 23 points. When only GOP voters were asked, “If the Republican presidential primary for the 2024 election was held today, who would you vote for?,” the 45th president secured 48% of support, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) earned 25%, and former Vice President Mike Pence received six percent of the vote. No other possible challengers scored more than four percent of the vote.
Removing Trump from the equation, it seems many poll respondents shifted their preference to DeSantis, who came in first place with 48% support, Pence was bumped up to 15% in that scenario, and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley received five percent of the vote.
The survey also indicated that the base of the GOP still favors Trump. In one question, the organizers of the poll asked only GOP voters, “If the Republican party primary is down to two choices, Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, who would you choose to run as president in 2024 among the two?”
TRUMP 2024 / MAGA
pence / KMA
We need a STRONG PROVEN LEADER > TRUMP is the ONLY one to go with !!! FACT
We need a NON-POLITICIAN !!!!!!! (TRUMP ) MAGA & Reverse all the Biden Damage !!!!!!!!!
Hope Trump don’t give up !!!! He is Old & don’t need the job anyway !!!! We need him !!!!!!
That’s going to be difficult since Trump will either be in prison, or will have fled to Russia or one of the Middle East countries where he can be protected by his partners in crime.
Donald J. Trump will be your next President 10:33
Hope the Democrat Party is BANNED > SOLVED
He is Innocent so that won’t happen so DREAM ON !!!!!!!!
I’d be very interested in a Trump-DeSantis ticket because of their combo of strengths, and because it would lay the groundwork for 3 consecutive Republican administrations. Having a bloody primary just plays to the CommieSocialistDems. Think long term and scale back the egos.
Pence will polish the shoes for Trump !!!!!!!
Pence is a traitor and doesn’t have enough brains to keep his mouth shut he thinks he is like Hillary everything is about him media attention just like Hillary & Fauci .
