Former President Donald Trump holds a 14-point lead over potential 2024 Republican presidential nomination rival Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, according to a new poll in the early stages of the White House race.
The national survey from Quinnipiac University also indicates President Biden holding a four-point advantage over Trump and a razor-thin one-point edge over DeSantis in hypothetical 2024 general election matchups.
Trump stands at 46% support among Republicans and GOP-leaning voters questioned in the poll, which was conducted March 9-13, with DeSantis at 32%. The survey indicates Trump has expanded his lead over DeSantis. In Quinnipiac University’s February poll, the former president topped the Florida governor 42%-36%.
Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said of the new survey, “DeSantis might be the buzz in the GOP conversation, but, for now, Trump is seeing no erosion and, in fact, enjoys a bump in his lead in the Republican primary.”
However, the survey still shows both Trump and DeSantis losing to Biden in 2024 matchups.
