The former president received the support of 60% of participants in a poll of the annual Republican weekend event

WITH DeSantis destroying the daisy of his candidacy for 2024. Trump has strengthened his leadership in recent months ahead of the primaries. The reluctance of other candidates to openly criticize the former president along with his few — but effective — campaign appearances could give Trump a tough advantage to attack in the future.

The annual Republican CPAC event closed the weekend with a speech by Trump and the traditional informal voting of attendees. Among them, 60% would vote for the mogul for president in 2024. DeSantis would trail with a measly 20% support. The CPAC poll, however, is skewed in favor of Trump, given the prominence of his supporters at the event. Despite this, and with nuances, their results could fit into a broader trend.

In an independent survey he conducted YouGov According to Yahoo News in late February, a hypothetical matchup between Trump and DeSantis in the Republican primary would result in the former president winning with 47% of the vote compared to 39% for his rival. The same survey showed the weakness of the candidacy Nikki Haleywho would achieve just 4% support, with the other candidates — not including Vivek Ramaswamy — below 3% Mike Pompeo.

YouGov’s research confirms a change in trend compared to previous months’ research: Trump would now easily surpass the governor of Florida, ending the months after the November election when DeSantis won nearly every face-off between the two. Additionally, when asked who the Republican nominee should be, 49% of respondents YouGov polled said it had to be Trump, while only 38% of Republicans chose their rival.

At FiveThirtyEight, weighted analyzes of Americans’ opinions of the Republican candidates show a significant difference between the two front-runners in the race. Although the number of Americans who have a favorable opinion of Trump and DeSantis is similar, about 43%, those who have an unfavorable opinion of Trump (52.2%) far outnumber those who have an unfavorable opinion of DeSantis (35.6%).

On his part, in Democratic Party They saw the first alternative candidacy of Joe Biden being presented this weekend. Marianne Williamson officially announced her candidacy on Saturday to change things. “He the status quo it will not be undermined; that’s our job,” Williamson said in her second appearance as a presidential candidate. The Texas author and activist already ran for the 2020 Democratic primary with a bid that never took off. So he ended up endorsing Bernie Sanders.
