Poll shows Trump has the most support in a crowded GOP presidential primary: 'He loves a fight'

A new poll finds that Republican voters favor President Trump over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential nomination in a hypothetical multi-candidate field of GOP nominees.

The findings add context to a Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday that shows DeSantis polling ahead of Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup for the 2024 GOP nomination, indicating that Republican primary voters could hold a slightly more favorable opinion of DeSantis than Trump.

While Trump launched this third White House campaign a month ago, the field for the 2024 GOP nomination could become quite crowded by next year as a growing pool of Republican contenders continues to tease potential presidential runs in the aftermath of the midterm elections.
