Former President Donald Trump is up double digits against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in a hypothetical 2024 presidential main match, a just recently launched Florida Atlantic University/Mainstreet Research survey discovered.
The study, taken between April 13 and 14, 2023, found 59 percent of registered Republicans select Trump as their nominee of choice, while 31 percent select DeSantis, offering Trump a 28-point advantage:

Further, the study found 87 percent of signed up Republican citizens in Florida at least rather support Trump in the 2024 primary, in spite of looming legal woes.
More per Florida Atlantic University (FAU):
However, the survey exposes local and generational spaces amongst Republican citizens. Trump wins decisively against DeSantis in the Tampa Bay area (69 percent for Trump vs. 22 percent for DeSantis); in southwest Florida (80 percent for Trump vs. 7 percent for DeSantis); and in Palm Beach County (65 percent for Trump vs. 33 percent for DeSantis). However, in northwest Florida, Trump and DeSantis tie with 43 percent each. When it comes to the generational gap, Trump wins 66 percent of assistance amongst voters who are 50 to 64 years old, while his assistance among more youthful citizens (18 to 34) is 40 percent.
Luzmarina Garcia, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at FAU, kept in mind that none of the other GOP prospects are ballot close to Trump or DeSantis, concluding that it appears like “a two-man race.”
” However, even this early in the race, the large majority of Republican respondents suggested that they had comprised their minds for a presidential candidate,” Garcia observed.
As holds true in other parts of the nation, Florida Republicans noted the economy as the most essential area of issue, followed by immigration.
The study, taken amongst 1,081 registered voters on April 3 and 14, has a +/- 3 percent margin of error. It accompanies a recent National Research study Inc. study, commissioned by American Success, which likewise discovered Trump leading DeSantis in their house state.
As Breitbart News reported:
The latest National Research study Inc. survey, carried outamong 500 most likely GOP main citizens in Florida, found the previous president leading his closest possible challenger by eight percent, or 42 percent to 34 percent, in Florida.
No other potential opposition comes from another location close, as former Vice President Mike Pence, previous South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and anti-woke entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy all saw 2 percent assistance. Everyone else noted– consisting of Sen. Tim Scott, who is expected to makea presidential announcement Might 22– saw one percent assistance or less.
Another 16 percent showed that they are not sure or declined to respond to:

Especially, that survey was taken almost a month later– May 8-9, 2023.
DeSantis has yet to formally reveal his political intents, spending the majority of the week finalizing legislation– concentrating on problems from immigration to coronavirus requiredsand Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)— as the state’s legislative session formally ended recently, sustaining additional speculation about the governor’s political future.
