Florida voters prefer former President Donald Trump or Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., over President Joe Biden, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today Network poll released Tuesday.

Other results from the poll show:
The poll was conducted between Jan. 26-29 and involved likely voters in the 2022 midterm elections. The margin of error in the survey overall is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
