A new poll reveals who potential 2024 GOP primary voters want in the race. While former President Trump is the only one who has formally announced a run in 2024, it hasn’t stopped the speculation from swirling. And while Trump is in the lead – that might not be the reason to look into this latest survey. Instead, it could be about who else was voted for.
Main Takeaways: In a January 6-8 2023 survey by the Morning Consult, 4,470 Republican primary voters weighed into a series of questions on the 2024 GOP primaries.
- Former President Trump has remained in the lead for the Republican’s presential nomination contest. He remains in first place with a 46% lead.
- Voters are still warming up to DeSantis which could be bad for Trump as his ratings seem to drop as DeSantis’s seem to rise.
- There could be a crowded field of competition if voters get what they want come February 2024.
Morning Consult’s first poll from this study shows a large field of potential rivals for the former president. This list includes Ron DeSantis, and Mike Pence two that seem like obvious entries at this point. Though a long list of others follow, including Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, Glenn Youngkin, and a choice of ‘someone else.’
Results: In this survey, Donald Trump received a 46% support rate over the other 11 options. Following Trump, Ron DeSantis received 33% of the voter’s support ranking as the second highest potential candidate. Trump and DeSantis are followed by Mike Pence though he has a significant decrease of support with only 9% of voters supporting him and the other 8 candidates have a variety of 3%, 2% 1%, and 0% of support.
Problem is DJT can’t win this time… He’s got a good handle on his base but no cross-over to Indies and stupid ‘effin white women……Not to mention the Rino’s. Prove me wrong….I would love to be wrong…..
BugD – I have to agree. I know way too many people who would not vote for Trump simply because they are totally turned off by his personality and persona. I continually try to convince people that voting decisions should be based on policies rather than personalities, but it has become clear to me that a very substantial number of conservative votes would be lost because of people’s negative feelings about Donald Trump. Regrettably, I have often thought that Trump seems to be his own worst enemy.
It is critical for a conservative to win the 2024 election and we must do everything (legally) possible to make this happen.
Biden o percent
True but he would still “win” by cheating.
What Republican would vote for Luz Cheney after her performance?
Or Mike Pence, after his?
A DUMB WOKEASS RINO
RINOs and it seems there are many.
More RINO’s than in Africa!
Trump needs to pick up where he left off. He has proved that he is more than up to the task. We are reaping the rewards of a bad selection in Biden! DeSantis is the future of the party. He should be looked upon at the 2028 nominee. He might be the ideal VP for Trump. The rest of the field is irrelevant.
Trump is still the president,and will be again in 2024,hikdenbiden doesn’t a chance in hades to win again.He just a puppet ,fool,of the deep state,going down.
Why Is Lizzard Cheney even on the list?
NO CHANCE IN HELL!!!
Cheney needs to give it up. Nobody would vote for this idiot.
So, when are we going to have someone run for president who is not a religious nut?
Religious nut: anyone who believes in the Christian God, or in any supernatural being or power.
Sadly, aside from Islamic countries, our country is the only industrialized nation in the world in which if person is running for a political office and can’t convince the voters that they’re just as crazy as the voters – that they believe in a supernatural being for whom there is not, nor has there ever been, the slightest bit of proof or evidence – they don’t have a snowball’s chance in a fire storm of getting elected.
So, to make a long story short, insanity has become institutionalized as a prime qualification for running for political office in our country!!
Think about the consequences of that.
Take all the time you like.

If you would really “love to hear your thoughts”, you’ll have to be willing to respect my First Amendment right to freedom of speech and not delete what I write simply because you don’t like how I have expressed my ideas.
I do think that Trump was the 2nd best president of my lifetime (behind Reagon), but he has too much baggage and is way too Narcissistic. We need Desantis. He’s more Conservative, stands for what he believes, and isn’t a Narcissist.
Why not consider a Trump/Desantis ticket?
