Even Progressive Heaven Harvard's Polls Show That Trump 'Will Destroy' Rivals In '24

Another poll reveals former President Donald Trump is a runaway favorite for the 2024 Republican nomination with 57% approval, a 45-point lead on Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was a distant second at 12% in the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris survey provided exclusively to The Hill.

According to the pollster, in a hypothetical eight-Republican field, Trump is in a "strong position" long before he makes his post-2022 midterms intentions official.

"It's way too early to make predictions about 2024 as early polls usually end up not being a good predictor of what happens," Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, told The Hill.

"Trump is starting out in a fairly strong position with Republicans, while Biden and Harris have surprisingly little support among Democrats for incumbents. Trump is also starting out reasonably well positioned for the general, but he seems to be benefiting by being out of the limelight and not telling what would happen if he steps back in."

None of the other five in the poll, which were not named in The Hill's exclusive report, got double digits. They shared only 20% of the remainder of the registered Republican voters surveyed.

In a poll without Trump, in the event he chooses not to run, DeSantis was a clear leader:

1.    DeSantis 30%.
2.    Pence 24%.
3.    Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, 14%.

The media has sought to divide Trump and DeSantis, but Trump refuted the claims of a rift between the top GOP candidates as "totally fake news" in an interview last week.

The poll also discovered that the Republican Party is well-positioned in the 2024 presidential election. Trump topped President Joe Biden by 6 points (46%-40%) in a hypothetical rematch.

Trump had an even broader, 10-point edge in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with Vice President Kamala Harris. The survey had Trump at nearly 49% to only 39% for Harris.

DeSantis had only a 1-point edge on Harris (40%-39%), while 21% were undecided, according to the report.

A hypothetical Democrat 2024 President primary was far closer. Biden got 32% to Harris' 14%, while Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Hillary Clinton were both tied at 11%.

If Biden were to decline to run – and the White House and the incumbent has claimed he plans to – Harris is a narrow favorite among registered Democrats. Harris gets 23% support, while Clinton is second at 17% and Sanders is third at 12%.

The Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and The Harris Poll polled 1,815 registered voters Jan. 19-20. The Hill's exclusive report on the poll results provided no margin of error nor totals on Republican versus Democrat registered voters.
