The upcoming 2024 race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States is already heating up as a new poll reveals that incumbent President Donald Trump has a significant lead heading into the primary.
The poll, which was conducted by YouGov Conservative, showed that Trump currently holds a commanding 46% of the GOP’s primary vote, nearly double that of his closest competitor, former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who tied with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for second place with 24% of the vote.
The other GOP contenders, including former Vice President Mike Pence, Vice President Mike Pence, former Ohio Governor John Kasich, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, all pulled single-digit ratings in the poll.
The poll also revealed some interesting insights about the perceptions of the party’s base regarding the 2024 race. Over two-thirds of those polled (67%) believe that President Trump will not only win his party’s nomination but also the general election in 2024.
Furthermore, more people (60%) believe that Haley will be the Republican Party’s nominee in 2024 than those who favor DeSantis (49%) as a potential nominee.
The poll also highlighted an interesting trend in the GOP primary: While Trump’s lead is commanding, the pollsters noted that it is not as large as it was at the start of his first term in 2016. However, the same poll noted that Trump’s approval rating among Republican primary voters is still strong, at 88%.
This could mean that the GOP primary remains competitive despite Trump’s dominant lead and that the 2024 race will be one to watch as the party’s contenders battle it out for the nomination.
The poll also revealed that despite his strong lead among Republican primary voters, Trump may not have the same level of support among the overall electorate. Only 36% of those polled indicated they would support Trump in the general election, while 54% said they would not.
This could be a sign that the American electorate may have shifted in the four years since Trump’s victory in 2016, and the 2024 election may be a much closer race.
It is too early to tell how the 2024 race will play out, but the new poll results are a sign that the Republican primary could be an interesting race. Trump holds a commanding lead among GOP primary voters, while the other contenders are still jockeying for position. The coming months and years will reveal if the incumbent maintains his tight grip on the party, or if a new contender could emerge and snatch the nomination from him.
