The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantiswould seem to have become the favorite of Republican voters heading into the 2024 presidential election. Sure, two years is an eternity in politics, but today, DeSantis would lead.
At least that’s how you understand the results of a new survey by the Wall Street Journal newspapercarried out among Republican voters participating in the primaries. 52 percent of those polled said they would prefer DeSantis as the Republican nominee, while 38 percent favored Donald Trump.
When the query was whether the image was positive, 86 percent said yes with respect to DeSantis against 74 percent who favored the figure of Trump.
When polled among voters in general, not just Republicans, 43 percent view DeSantis favorably against 36 percent who view Trump favorably.
If the primary setting was Trump vs. Mike Pence (former vice president rumored to seek to be the nominee in 2024), among Republican voters, 63 percent would prefer Trump to 28 percent who chose Pence. In terms of positive image, 48 percent of Republicans view Pence favorably.
The same survey found that in a possible general election that again faced Joe Biden against donald trump 45 percent would prefer the Democrat while 43 percent would favor Trump. 12 percent would be undecided.
Other recent polls conducted to explore Trump and DeSantis yield similar results. Chain CNN He conducted his own study this week and the results showed that among Republican voters, DeSantis has a better image than the former president, 74 percent versus 63 percent, respectively.
The November elections of this year were key to the national consecration of the governor of Florida, who was re-elected beating the Democratic opponent by 20 points. In addition, in the state of Florida, the so-called red wave was the strongest in the country, where all the Republican candidates won by a large majority. Of course, that’s not just DeSantis’s credit, but many see it as a political victory.
