<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> has a seven point lead over former President Donald Trump in who Republican voters want to see as the party&#8217;s 2024 presidential nominee, according to a new poll released this week.</p>
<p>The Economist/YouGov <a href="https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/gebmjsbpbw/econTabReport.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> found that Republican voters want DeSantis over Trump, 46% to 39%, and Independent voters also want DeSantis over Trump, 34% to 21%. For all voters, DeSantis had a whopping 15-point lead over the former president, 43% to 28%.</p>
<p>DeSantis beat Trump in every demographic that the poll measured except among Hispanic voters, as the two candidates were tied 37% to 37%.</p>
<p>DeSantis beat Trump in the following demographics: Men (+6%), women (+20%), whites (+15%), blacks (+17%), 18-29 year olds (+12%), 30-44 year olds (+1%), 45-64 year olds (+18%), 65+ year olds (+19%), income &lt;$50k (+6%), income $50-$100k (+22%), $100k+ (+15%), 2020 Biden Voters (+21%), 2020 Trump Voters (+11%), Democrats (+19%), Independents (+13%), Republicans (+7%), Liberals (+5%), Moderates (+19%), Conservatives (+18%), Urban (+8%), Suburban (+19%), and Rural (+11%).</p>
<p>The poll comes after a poll from YouGov last week found that DeSantis had gained an advantage over Trump in who Republicans wanted to see as the party&#8217;s 2024 nominee.</p>
<p>“More Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents now say they’d prefer DeSantis (42%) as their 2024 presidential nominee over Trump than say they’d prefer Trump to DeSantis (35%),” the survey <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-republican-leaning-independents-shift-in-who-they-want-to-be-gops-nominee-in-2024-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a>. “That’s a reversal from nearly a month ago, when — according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll of U.S. adults — just 35% preferred DeSantis and 45% said they preferred Trump.”</p>
<p>People who considered themselves to be strong Republicans were split evenly between the two candidates, but Independent-leaning Republicans supported DeSantis by a more than 2-to-1 margin.</p>
<p>Recent polls <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-launches-third-bid-for-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted</a> at the state-level have found similar trends among voters.</p>
<p>One poll, commissioned by the Club For Growth, found that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had overtaken Trump 48% to 37% in Iowa, 52% to 37% in New Hampshire, 56% to 30% in Florida, and 55% to 35% in Georgia. Trump had previously led DeSantis in all of those states, as recently as just a few months ago, in that same poll. A separate poll, conducted by CWS Research, found that DeSantis is now up over Trump in the state of Texas by 11 points. Last month, Trump led DeSantis by 17 points.</p>
<p>A new poll released by Democrat pollster Stan Greenberg found that Trump beats President Joe Biden (D) in a 2024 matchup by 2 points while DeSantis beats Biden by 4 points. The poll also found that DeSantis &#8220;would give Republicans their best margin ever among Hispanics,&#8221; according to Visto Media founder and Republican strategist Giancarlo Sopo.</p>
<p>“It’s not surprising that as Americans grow tired of Joe Biden’s lackluster economy and rising crime in our cities, they see Florida as a great state and Gov. Ron DeSantis as a strong leader,” Sopo told The Daily Wire.</p>
