44 percent of Republicans don’t want Trump to run for reelection: poll

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.
