Most Republicans believe former President Donald Trump has a better chance of winning the 2024 general election than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a recent survey from The Economist/YouGov found.
The survey, taken May 20-23, 2023, prior to DeSantis formally announcing his 2024 presidential bid, asked respondents, “Which of these two Republicans do you think has the best chance of winning the 2024 general election for president?” The choices were either Trump or DeSantis.
Overall, a plurality, 40 percent, said Trump has the best chance of the two to win the general election in 2024.
Twenty-eight percent said the same for DeSantis, and nearly one-third, 32 percent, said they remain unsure.
