Morning Consult reports:
Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign announcement appears to have been a dud, according to a new Morning Consult/Politico survey, which found his support against a hypothetical 2024 Republican field weakened a bit over the course of a week.
According to the Nov. 18-20 survey, 45% of potential Republican primary voters said they would vote for Trump if the 2024 presidential nominating contest were being held today, compared with 47% who said the same the weekend before his announcement.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remains in second place, with support from 3 in 10 Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, while former Vice President Mike Pence is backed by 7% of the GOP electorate. Neither politician has launched a campaign.
Read the full article. Try not to scream, but we’re due for about 18 months of such polls unless DeSantis definitively says he’s not running.
