According to a recent poll conducted by the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab, Florida Republicans overwhelmingly favor former President Donald Trump over their current governor, Ron DeSantis, in a hypothetical 2024 presidential primary.
The survey revealed that Trump enjoyed a significant 20-point lead among registered GOP voters when asked about their preferred candidate for the upcoming primary. Half of the respondents indicated their support for Trump, while 30 percent expressed their preference for DeSantis.
A small portion, approximately 7 percent, remained undecided at the time of the poll. These findings highlight the enduring popularity and strong support that Trump continues to command within the Republican Party in Florida, signaling a potential challenge for DeSantis should the two enter into a primary contest in 2024.
