Ron DeSantis has not yet announced a presidential bid, but many voters are turning to him to become the next Republican candidate over Trump.
The latest polling data has suggested that voters would prefer Florida Governor Ron DeSantis than former President Donald Trump to represent the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election.
On November 15, Trump announced that he would be running again for president following his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. While DeSantis has not officially announced he is standing in the election, he is widely expected to run as the Republican nomination.
A FiveThirtyEight report has highlighted that the majority of recent polling, conducted before Trump’s announcement, has shown DeSantis beating Trump.
A YouGov poll conducted between November 13 and November 15, with a sample size of 432 adults, put DeSantis ahead by 7 points at 46 percent compared to Trump’s 39 percent.
