Breitbart reports that the Zogby poll found that 47 percent of GOP voters back Trump in the primary. That compares to just 28 percent for DeSantis. However, it is also noted that the level of support for DeSantis has also increased over time. The previous poll on this same question by Zogby found DeSantis support sitting at just 12 percent.

The people at Zogby also ran the poll without Trump in it to see the results. In a poll that doesn't include Trump, DeSantis wins 48 percent support while Mike Pence gets 21 percent.
The poll was taken between November 9-11, 2022, among 864 likely GOP primary voters.

Zogby might have found it relevant to run a poll with Trump not present in it, but it is not clear why they felt the need to do so. This is unlikely, given that Trump has already filed official paperwork to run in 2024. He is the first major candidate to do so on the GOP side in this cycle.
Trump stated the following during his speech announcing his candidacy:
"We are here tonight to declare it does not have to be this way, two years ago we were a great nation and soon we will be a great nation again."
He followed up by saying:

"The decline being forced upon us by Biden and the radical left lunatics is driving us right here into the ground. This decline is not a fate we must accept. When given the choice boldly and clearly, I believe the American people will overwhelmingly reject the left's path to national ruin and they will embrace our vision for national greatness and glory,"
