Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is down 41 percentage points in New Hampshire, an important early primary state, while former President Donald Trump rails ahead for the 2024 GOP nomination, a new poll shows.
DeSantis only received 17% of support when Republican primary voters were asked which candidate they preferred, and the former president topped the poll results with 58% of the votes, an Emerson College poll indicates. New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu garnered 7% of the votes, though the same poll shows he has a 64% approval rating among the state’s GOP voters.
Other polling data from January suggested that DeSantis was up in New Hampshire by 12 percentage points, but the next week, the former president pulled ahead by 11 percentage points.
In a head-to-head matchup between President Joe Biden and DeSantis, the president won with 42.3%, according to the state poll. Biden also won against Trump, but with a smaller margin of 3.7 percentage points.
Following Trump and DeSantis is former South Carolina Gov. and declared 2024 candidate Nikki Haley with 6% of the vote, and former Vice President Mike Pence with 4%. The other declared GOP presidential candidate and conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy was not included in this polling question.
Former President Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in the 2024 New Hampshire Republican primary, a new @7News/ @EmersonCollege poll shows.
