Sixty-one percent of potential GOP primary voters in a new poll back former President Trump as he runs for the White House again in 2024, putting him more than 40 points above Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a rumored contender who hasn’t announced an official bid.
The survey from Morning Consult found Trump leading DeSantis by 43 points, with the governor securing support from 18 percent of respondents. Trump is up 1 percentage point and DeSantis is down 1 percentage point from earlier this month, according to the tracker.
In third place is Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence — who also hasn’t launched a bid — with 6 percent.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy — both of whom have already jumped into the race — earned just 4 percent each.
