New polling of a hypothetical 2024 presidential Primary in Michigan shows that if the race were between Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, it would be too close to call.
A live operator phone poll of 500 likely voters in this year’s GOP Primary showed that while Trump was ahead of DeSantis, 45% to 42%, the lead was well inside the margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points.
As one might expect, DeSantis is even outperforming Trump with some subgroups polled. The Governor was stronger with college-educated voters than Trump, with voters having less formal education preferring the former President. And the framing of the poll illustrated that divide in stark relief.
“Among Trump Republicans, Donald Trump leads 71%-21%. But among “classic Republicans,” DeSantis holds a large lead of 53%-33%,” noted the ClickOnDetroit website in discussing the results of the WDIV/Detroit News poll conducted by the Glengariff Group.
This survey is the latest example of DeSantis at least holding his own against Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head, single-state matchup.
Florida polling is starting to show DeSantis over Trump in certain contexts. A new survey from Naples-based Victory Insights shows DeSantis ahead 61% to 39% when respondents leaning toward one candidate or another are forced to choose. A survey released last week by Blueprint Polling shows DeSantis is the choice of 51% when voters who lean one way or another are considered, with a 12-point lead over Trump, who sits at 39%.
A June poll by the University of New Hampshire of the first-in-the-nation Primary state also had DeSantis over Trump, while many other polls have shown some version of a Trump lead that seems to be eroding.
Club for Growth polling on the state level has shown Trump well ahead in most places, suggesting the former President may still be the front-runner, but polls like the Michigan survey show that the 2024 question is an increasingly open one.

Vote RED for fusion of far right propaganda and mind bending religion
Vote RED for a far right police state and people insisting that they won elections when they didn’t.

You sir, are a complete child and have no idea of what you are talking about. Go listen to some more media rhetoric and let them rule your life as you obviously cannot function on your own. Amazing how ignorance breeds and spreads in the liberal agenda.

Will be funny when the GOP and their megadonors ignore Trump… I sense Don will be fairly irrelevant after midterms.

I’d say he was fairly irrelevant now. I think even the people that used to like him have to admit there’s just too much baggage that goes along with him and if the reports of what he says to his close acquaintances are correct, his main objective for running is to get himself out of some of his legal difficulties.

Seniors need to wake up. They don’t see that their power in the Republican party is now gone, and that they are no longer the audience that their party is speaking to.
What do these elders think will happen to them now that the Republicans no longer need their vote? Republican lawmakers have already established that it is acceptable to let people die when it’s in the government’s interest, so now we have pregnant women being denied life saving care. Seniors can’t somehow think they are different. They will soon be treated like the “useless eaters” that the Republicans now see them as. The Republican plan to cancel Social Security and Medicare is only the beginning.

Republicans kill their children’s minds with mind bending religion and far right propaganda. Kill the elderly and disabled by trying to sabotage social programs and spending. Kill everyone else with low wages and shoveling money to the rich. The GOP is a national security threat. Should be declared unconstitutional and eliminated like yesterday. Military can deal with anyone who doesn’t like it.

How can you people be so lost and dominated by a fake liberal agenda? Do any of you actually educate yourselves? Every single thing you talk about is based on nothing. No science, no data, no actual statistical data. Just, because, is your only reasoning. My god you people are ignorant followers of a boob of a president. My children have a higher level of knowledge of the world than you do.

If DeSantis can’t beat trump at this point he needs to hang it up. He’s too far to be president anyway, just ask Chris Christie!

President Trump was great. But 2024 will be the time for a younger, more principled man to campaign for the White House. Along with his beautiful wife and adorable kids. Ron DeSantis is the future of the Republican party and the future President of the United States, mark my words.
