Donald Trump’s popularity has been growing since he left office, and a recent poll confirms that to be true. In the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, Trump is leading Biden by 7 points, according to a poll by Rasmussen. Biden secured only 41% of votes, while Trump secured 48%. The poll also reveals that a Trump-DeSantis ticket is highly popular among people.
The Republican primaries are still far away, but Donald Trump still holds a strong lead in the GOP primary. In Morning Consult’s latest Republican presidential primary tracker poll, Trump maintains a substantial lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. 56% of potential Republican primary voters back Trump for the nomination. DeSantis sits 34 points behind him, with 22% of potential voters.
Is Trump’s growing popularity because of his policies or the way they are implemented? Let’s dive deeper into what the polls say.
Trump vs. Biden in 2024
In recent times, Donald Trump has been actively working to get the Republican nomination for the 2024 Presidential Election. He has also been attending rallies and speaking engagements to maintain his strong ties with his supporters. The recent Rasmussen poll shows that Trump’s hard work is paying off.
Among 1,050 Likely Voters across the United States, the poll found that 48% of people would vote for Trump if the 2024 Presidential Election were held today, while only 41% of people said they would vote for Joe Biden. In comparison, Biden won the 2020 Presidential Election with 51.3% of the popular vote.
The poll also reveals that 11% of people remain undecided, while 1% of people would vote for another candidate. It is worth noting that Rasmussen leans to the right, but the poll numbers remain quite close to other polling averages.
Trump’s popularity appears to have increased significantly since he left office, which some might attribute to his consistent and frequent media appearances. Trump has used his time out of office to court the interest of his supporters who remain passionately devoted to his populist policy agenda.
Interestingly, in a head-to-head battle, the poll shows that Trump’s popularity rose among Black and Hispanic voters. 10% more Hispanic voters would vote for Trump in 2024 than they did in 2020, and eight% of Black voters would vote for Trump.
The poll suggests that Trump’s popularity in key demographics is increasing, and given that he has never been one to miss an opportunity, expect him to continue working hard to maintain his supporters’ interest.
Trump-DeSantis ticket highly popular
Although it remains to be seen if Trump will run for President in 2024, the Rasmussen poll indicates that if he does, his running mate for Vice President could be Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The poll showed that if the election were held today, a Trump-DeSantis ticket would win the popular vote decisively. According to the survey, 51% of respondents would vote for Trump-DeSantis, while only 43% would vote for Biden-Harris.
The Trump-DeSantis ticket is highly popular because DeSantis is seen as a strong ally of the former President. DeSantis’s policy approach is in line with Trump’s populist agenda, and he has frequently advocated policies that overlap with those of Trump.
The duo has openly discussed running together in 2024, and if the Rasmussen poll is anything to go by, they would be a formidable combination.
Trump’s popularity in GOP Primary
Trump is the only Republican candidate who is actively working to get the GOP nomination in the 2024 Presidential Election. As such, he is the clear front-runner in the GOP Primary, according to a Morning Consult poll.
The poll shows that Trump maintains a substantial lead in the GOP Primary polling. He commands 56% of votes, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a distant second with 22%.
The poll also suggests that Mike Pence is the third most popular GOP Presidential candidate, with only 7% of potential voters supporting him. Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy round up the top five GOP candidates with 4% and 3% of the votes, respectively.
It is worth noting that the GOP primaries are still far off, and there is still time for other Republican candidates to enter the race. Moreover, Trump has not officially declared his candidacy yet, and it remains to be seen if he decides to make a run at all.
Conclusion
Donald Trump remains one of the most controversial figures in American politics in modern times. He is a lightning rod for criticism, and some people are mistakenly pointing to his policies as the roots of America’s political division. However, a recent poll by Rasmussen found that Trump’s popularity is growing alongside his push to secure the 2024 Presidential Nomination.
The GOP primaries are still far off, and there is still time for the other candidates to step up their campaigns. However, as things stand, Trump remains the front-runner by a wide margin. It remains to be seen whether or not he will run for President in 2024, but he will undoubtedly continue to maintain his popularity through frequent media engagements and public appearances.
If Donald Trump decides to run for President, the Rasmussen poll suggests that he will have a strong chance of winning. Additionally, if he pairs himself with Ron DeSantis, they will be a formidable force that Biden-Harris will have to reckon with.
