Poll: Trump is the top GOP contender against Biden in 2024.
The Majority of Republicans Believe Trump is the Strongest Candidate for 2024 Election
The latest national survey conducted by Monmouth University reveals that the vast majority of Republicans view former President Donald Trump as the strongest contender to go up against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
The poll, released on Tuesday, shows that a combined 69% of Republican voters believe Trump is the most formidable nominee to challenge Biden. Among them, 45% voted “definitely strongest,” while 24% chose “probably strongest.”
On the other hand, only 18% of Republican voters think another candidate would be “probably stronger,” and 13% believe another candidate would be “definitely stronger.”
Trump Leads in Voter Support
When it comes to voter support, the poll indicates that the former president enjoys a significant lead of 30 points over the other 14 Republican candidates. Trump secures a strong 54% support, while Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) trails behind at 22%.
Despite facing criminal indictments, Trump maintains a strong advantage in the GOP primary race. Forty-seven percent of respondents express no concern about his indictments, while 25% are not too concerned. The remaining 27% are either very concerned or somewhat concerned.
Meanwhile, DeSantis has had to make adjustments to his campaign, including staff cuts and strategy changes.
In a head-to-head matchup, Trump emerges as the frontrunner with 55% support from GOP voters, while DeSantis receives 35%.
Other candidates in the poll, such as entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), former New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina GOP Gov. Nikki Haley, all hover around 3% support. The remaining candidates score 2% or less.

NBC News notes that this poll is unlikely to be used to qualify GOP candidates for the upcoming inaugural GOP debate due to its methodology and sample size. To qualify, presidential candidates must score at least 1% in two national polls and 1% in two early state polls, or at least 1% in three national polls, after July 1.
Monmouth University conducted the survey from July 12-19, polling 681 Republican registered voters. The national poll has a margin of error of 5.9 percentage points.
