A new poll shows Trump surging ahead of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a potential 2024 matchup.
Gift said it was"important to keep in mind that this isn't a two-way race. The primaries aren't Trump vs. DeSantis. They're Trump vs. the rest of the Republican field. If other contenders split the anti-Trump vote, and the party doesn't consolidate around a Trump alternative early, that could clear the path for Trump to sweep early winner-take-all states.
"It probably reflects Trump's return to media prominence more than anything else substantive, even if a six-point gain for him, and six-point drop for DeSantis, is large. Other polls, and recent focus groups of Republicans, have had DeSantis ahead, and a sizeable share of GOP voters wanting to 'move on' from Trump even if they want a Trumpian policy agenda retained," Singh said.
The same poll also showed DeSantis leading with 39 percent in a field of 10 potential candidates, while Trump won 28 percent support and Nikki Haley just 4 percent. "Probably the key element here remains how many other serious Republicans will enter the race over coming months.
