Trump Leads DeSantis Nationally

A Quinnipiac poll finds that when GOP voters are given a list of 14 names of Republicans who either have said they are running for president in 2024 or are seen as potential candidates in a Republican primary, Donald Trump receives 42% of the vote followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who receives 36%.

Nikki Haley receives 5%, Mike Pence receives 4%, and Mike Pompeo receives 4%. No other candidate tops 2% of the vote.

When the potential field is narrowed to only four candidates, voters are split between Trump at 43% and DeSantis at 41%, a virtual dead heat. Haley receives 6% and Pence receives 4% in this hypothetical 4-way Republican primary.
