Poll Suggests Ron DeSantis Would Outperform Trump in 2024 Biden Match UpBy Ben Kew
April 17, 2023
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis holds a narrow lead over President Joe Biden in the battleground states of Arizona and Pennsylvania and would likely outperform Donald Trump as a candidate in a hypothetical 2024 presidential match-up.
According to a recent poll conducted by the GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies, DeSantis leads Biden 45 percent to 42 percent, while Trump trails him by 42 percent to 46 percent in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the survey similarly found that in Arizona, DeSantis led Biden 48 percent to 42 percent, compared with Trump who trailed the leader 44 percent to 45 percent.
The survey polled 500 registered voters from Arizona and Pennsylvania, with the leads in both sets of numbers falling within the poll’s 4.4-percentage-point margin of error. However, Trump allies may be concerned by his underlying popularity in both states.
In Pennsylvania, 56 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of him, while only 40 percent hold a favorable opinion. In Arizona, 58 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of him, compared to just 40 percent who feel the opposite.
The results suggest that more than half the electorate in these battlegrounds have already made up their minds and are unlikely to vote for Trump in the next election. A majority of voters in both states, 56 percent in Pennsylvania and 55 percent in Arizona, said that they are unlikely to vote for him.
