New Donald Trump polling memo denotes ‘very clear’ majority support in 2024 GOP Primaries

In an April 4 memo to 'interested parties,' McLaughlin and Associates makes the pro-Trump case.

Donald Trump’s pollster is trumpeting “very clear … strong majority support” in the upcoming Republican Primaries and General Election.

In an April 4 memo to “interested parties,” McLaughlin and Associates suggests that in the wake of his 34-count federal indictment, the former President is positioned better than ever for the battles ahead in 2024.

“Having just completed our own survey of 1,000 likely 2024 general election voters conducted on behalf of the Donald J. Trump for President 2024 campaign and reviewing recent media polls completed before and after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of President Trump, it is very clear that President Trump has gained strong majority support from Republican primary voters against any opponent and leads incumbent President Joe Biden among likely voters.”

The McLaughlin poll shows Trump with a narrow lead among General Election voters, 47% to 43%, to buttress the latter claim.

Its Primary polling shows a more impressive lead over Ron DeSantis than any other recent survey: a 63% to 30% lead. While various public polls have shown Trump with a lead of more than 30 points in crowded fields, the McLaughlin survey is the first to claim Trump is over 60% against DeSantis.

“Any reputable poll now shows Republican primary voters are appalled, angry and are unifying behind President Trump in his nomination. Voters and reported donations to the Trump campaign are increasing exponentially,” the pollster contends.

“Since February, President Trump in any multicandidate field is building majority support and his potential opponents are either fading or not generating any significant support at all. Republicans know we need Donald Trump to defeat Joe Biden.”

From there, McLaughlin cites the latest poll from St. Anselm College, a single-state New Hampshire survey showing a relatively modest 13-point lead for Trump.

“A new poll from New Hampshire shows President Trump with a double-digit lead in a state where his opposition thought they could win,” McLaughlin remarks.

Noting that Trump is buoyed by perceptions that there is a “double standard of justice” in play, where the “Biden family escapes prosecution” while their client faces a “rigged” indictment, McLaughlin concludes that the “unprecedented effort by Biden, Bragg, and the radical left to indict President Trump has created a historic surge from Republican voters to support President Trump as their nominee to beat Joe Biden.”

This is the second such memo in recent days projecting strength from the Trump camp. Earlier this week, senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita claimed an “avalanche of recent polling shows President Trump surging to his largest-ever lead over Ron DeSantis.”

That document cited post-indictment surveys from Yahoo News/YouGov and Fox News in addition to the McLaughlin survey.

    Run him again and he will lose again. So glad he’s doing well in the polls. The GOP would do well to reign in on their stupid voters before the party swirls all the way down the toilet.

      Sorry, precious, but American Citizens (not iIIegaIs & felons) cannot wait for President Trump to be reelected (AGAIN) in 2024. He needs to take out the Marxist trash.

        My goodness, Mister Chris Weldon, so tears and menstruation are things to be ridiculed? Now, you just sit yourself down and reconcile yourself to the fact that your mother both cried and menstruated. Before, during, and after she raised you. Your little head popped out or her body, so for you to ridicule the biology of women is shameful. Unless of course you are a twelve year old boy trying to understand big words like Marxist (read a lot, do you? I think not), StopTheSteal (read a lot, do you? I think not), and menstruation (read a lot, do you? I think not), in which case the stomping of your little feet makes total sense, bless your heart.

    They say Trump knows no shame. Perhaps a second whipping from Joe Biden will help the shame sink in. But what is the GOP even thinking? “Who can beat Joe Biden in 2024? Oh let’s try the guy who lost in 2020 and has only lessened his number of voters since then.” Trump is all about crowd size, but when he gets even fewer votes in 2024 than he got in 2020 despite an ever increasing popultion that increased the number of votes cast every time we have a vote, maybe the shame will sink in. Assuming shame is allowed in prison.

      Poll I saw just yesterday had President Trump leading Beijing Biden by 7 points. Blows my mind that some people hate the USA so badly, that they continue to support a man who sold out the USA for $$ and diddled his own young daughter in the shower. People are sooooo ready for President Trump to be reelected (AGAIN) in 2024. He needs to take out the Marxist trash. Trump-Lake 2024! #NoMoreSteals

      Nearly everyone I know is fed up with race-baiting, illegal immigration, perverts treated as if they are normal, & the social justice menace. I didn’t vote for Trump last time, but like my friends, I will gladly vote for him in 2024. We have to stop what Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing. I don’t even recognize my own country anymore.

    It appears that Ron DeSantis is now losing to both Donald Trump and Mickey Mouse.
