Donald Trump is projected to win the Republican nomination for president by a landslide in Tennessee next year, with a 49-point lead over challenger RonDeSantis as of June.
A new poll released this week by the Beacon Center showed Trump dominating the southern state with 61% of the vote over DeSantis's 12%, and Trump beating President Joe Biden in a 2024 matchup in the state by more than 20 points."These primary results reflect what we've seen in national polls for months, that a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is the most likely scenario in 2024," Beacon spokesman Mark Cunningham said in a statement.
The 20-point lead over Biden is lower than 2020's lead, which saw Trump collect 60% of the vote over the current president. The numbers come from a poll of 1,120 registered voters, who were surveyed from June 14 to June 22, and has a 2.8% margin of error.Among Democratic contenders for the nomination, Biden is leading significantly with 63% of the votes. Challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Marianne Williamson have 7% and 2% of the vote, respectively.
In the hypothetical matchup between DeSantis and Biden, DeSantis would also win the state, but by 16% instead of 20%.
