 44 percent of Republicans don’t want Trump to run for reelection: poll
by Nick Robertson - 04/22/23 11:31 AM ET

A new poll found that 70 percent of Americans, including 44 percent of Republicans, do not want former President Trump to make a White House run in 2024.

The poll, released Thursday from The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s research center NORC, also found that 93 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents do not want Trump to run.

Respondents with a college degree were more likely to say he should not run than those without, though majorities of both groups — at 80 percent and 65 percent, respectively — said so.

The results come as polling shows Trump has expanded his lead in a hypothetical GOP primary against potential rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). While DeSantis has not officially announced a presidential campaign, he is widely expected to enter the race.

A Wall Street Journal poll released this week found Trump had a 13-point lead over DeSantis. A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that he had a 35-point lead over the Florida governor. He holds a still greater lead over other current or potential GOP candidates, according to the polls.

Despite many Americans not wanting him to run, the AP-NORC poll found that Trump has the highest net favorability rating among potential GOP candidates included in the survey.

The poll was conducted from April 13 to 17 among 1,230 adults. The margin of error was 3.9 percentage points.

No word on how many of these adults surveyed want Desantis?

Well, according to this poll, a whole lot  of people don't want Trump running, but yet he has the highest net favorability rating among potential GOP candidates.

He has no chance in the general election

Pray he doesn’t take the HOR with him

He has no chance in the general election

Pray he doesn’t take the HOR with him

or the Senate
or some Governorships

Ok, but if he has no chance in the general election, then he still out favors all potential candidates, so what you are saying is that the GOP doesn't stand a chance.  IMHO if the GOP doesn't prevail in '24 they never will for a very, very long time and our Republic will become absolutely unrecognizable.

[Fishrrman]

LMAO (on Mr. Trump):
"He has no chance in the general election"

Stop it.
I'll reckon that his chances out of the starting gate are at least 50-50.

I see two factors that will make the difference for or against Mr. Trump in '24:

First:
If he comes out full-bore against the immigration invasion, and how he plans to stop and then perhaps even reverse it through deportations, he can seize the issue in his favor. This could make the election in 2024.

How many Americans, particularly white Americans of Euro heritage, are FOR it?

Second:
The Party's underground (and above-ground) election apparatus.
How strong will it be this time around?

I reckon this is the almost-insurmountable object facing Mr. Trump.
He won with 3 or 4 critical states in 2016 that he needs again in 2024 -- Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
But these are "hard-blue" states now, by virtue of the DCommunist "election apparatus" that served The Party well in 2022.

So, again, Mr. Trump's chances are no better than 50-50 unless he can somehow overcome "the apparatus".

BUT... whether the Republican candidate is Mr. Trump or not... do you think the apparatus is just going to "go away"?
It will be MORE effective against a candidate DeSantis.

And any other Republican is going to have the same problems.

I know several people that voted for Trump twice. They're disgusted with his attacks on DeSantis and say they will not vote for Trump again. They are done with him. I've been done with him.

Wisconsin is not hard blue. Republicans control the statehouse and one of our Senators is a Republican who won re election in 2022

He's destroying himself and any chances of the GOP taking the WH in '24.

[LMAO]

If this poll is accurate, and I have seen other polls that say the majority of Americans do not want Trump or Biden to run, if Trump is the nominee, then the election is over before it even begins

And no, it does not say that the voters want Ron DeSantis. It only says that Americans do not want Donald Trump.

And I'll go on record again saying that Biden won't be the Democratic nominee.  I could even see him winning the majority of delegates but then bowing out and letting the convention choose.

Electability shouldn't be measured by whether or not you can beat Biden.

   I don't think Brandon will be the DEM nominee; he will either be made to step down or lose to another DEM.

How many here were old enough in the spring of 1968 to be able to observe politics?

If you were, do you remember the rocket-like ascension of Bobby Kennedy?

If you do, say "2024" and Bobby Kennedy. Again...
(just add "jr." this time...)

The rise of Bobby Kennedy came only a few years after the assassination of President Kennedy and that event was still fresh in the psyche of the American people

Plus he’s too white, male, and heterosexual for today’s modern Democrat Party. Those adjectives also describe Joe. But Joe is accepted by the Democratic Party base because of his dementia he can be easily manipulated.

You and your boy Trump always deflect and make it about DeSantis when the point is 44%, and growing, every time Trump says stupid socialistic crap like Freedom cities and Homeless camps on the taxpayer dime and spews his lies about about a Conservative governor and a Conservative state that percentage grows. He won't have to complain about the next election being stolen because he is undermining his run all on his own. He is making it more and more likely I will vote down ticket only instead of voting for him a third time

I'm honestly curious.  What is it, other than the literal sharing of a last name, that makes you think RFK Jr. has anything close to the political skill, reputation, etc., of his father?  I don't mean any offense here, but the Kennedy name itself means pretty much nothing other than to a very small percentage of seasoned citizens.  You'd have to be at least 70 to fall into that category, and the elderly are not the ones bringing the votes for Democrats.  It's the young, who if anything, deeply resent/dislike political dynasties.

   @Fishrrman

    First  He already did that in 2016 and got 1/5 of the wall built in spite of having a Republican House and Senate his first two years.

   Second  Ronna, who he just endorsed is still in charge.

[GtHawk]

Remember also that that wall he promised to build was supposed to be concrete not cuttable metal, and yes we are supposed to forget when he had both houses of congress, why wasn't he able to work with them to accomplish really accomplish his campaign promises with laws instead of revocable EO's?
