Salena Zito warns against premature 2024 GOP polling: ‘Expect the unexpected’
Salena Zito Dismisses Poll Showing Trump’s Lead Over DeSantis
Salena Zito, a national political reporter for the Washington Examiner, has brushed off the latest Wall Street Journal poll that indicates former President Donald Trump is holding a significant lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
During an appearance on Fox News Live on Monday, Zito responded to questions about whether the Florida governor can catch up in the polls, stating, “I have learned after covering American politics for a couple of decades that anything can happen.”

The poll reveals that Trump is further widening his lead among GOP primary voters in his pursuit of becoming the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. Trump’s lead over DeSantis has nearly doubled since April.
Zito, however, cautioned that it is still too early to make any definitive conclusions.
“A lot can happen between now and January when the first votes are cast in Iowa and New Hampshire, and then South Carolina,” she explained.
When speaking to voters across the country, Zito noted that they are not currently focused on Trump or Biden.
Zito described Trump’s support as “two ways.”
“They liked what he did, and they feel as though this is a political attack. But those can be soft support. So, we need to watch what happens and start to really unpack this race maybe in the beginning of December, or even the end of December,” Zito said.
