DeSantis falls behind Biden in 2024 election: Poll.
The Distance Between Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential Election
The latest polling data from Morning Consult suggests that the distance between Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 presidential election matchup is growing, with Biden expanding his lead.
In the national data, Biden’s lead over DeSantis has grown to 43% to 38%. Just last week, Biden held a narrow 2-point advantage over DeSantis, with a 42% to 40% lead.
Biden’s Strong Performance Against Republican Contenders
Notably, Biden maintains the same 43% support against both Republican contenders. In a hypothetical matchup against former President Donald Trump, Biden defeats him by a slim margin of 1 percentage point, with a 43% to 42% lead. Last week, Trump was leading the president with a 44% to 41% advantage.
Trump’s support has dropped by 1 point from last week, but he still holds the support of more than half of likely Republican primary voters. Other 2024 candidates, Vivek Ramaswamy and former Vice President Mike Pence, took third and fourth places, with 8% and 7% support, respectively.
Polling Details and Margin of Error
The survey was conducted between July 7-9 and included 3,616 likely Republican primary voters for the primary tracking results. For the hypothetical general election matchups, over 5,000 registered voters were included. The margin of error for the primary polling is plus or minus 1-2 percentage points, and for the general election polling, it is plus or minus 1 percentage point.
