Most Republicans continue to support former President Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, a University of Massachusetts Amherst released Friday found.
Most, 55 percent, chose Trump as their first choice. That figure is unchanged from the 55 percent who said the same five months ago in December 2021. Despite Trump’s firm grip on first, DeSantis remains the top second choice among Republicans, as 34 percent chose him in that category. That represents a three percent drop from the 37 percent who chose him as their second place candidate in December 2021.
The survey asked the same of Democrats in ranking the Democrat presidential candidate in 2024. While it showed Biden leading, he failed to garner majority support as the top candidate, seeing just 33 percent. Perhaps what is most significant is that the figure represents a seven-point drop from the 40 percent who chose Biden in December 2021, further demonstrating the reality of Biden’s waning support even among members of his own party.
