Former President Donald Trump remains a top pick among Republican voters to clinch the 2024 Presidential nomination, according to recent polling from the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll.
Nearly half of respondents in the Feb.15 and 16 poll supported Trump, who in this survey, polled twice as high as presumptive rival Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The survey asked Republican voters which candidate they'd support if the 2024 GOP presidential primary were held today. Nearly half, 46%, chose Trump. DeSantis came in a distant second at 23%, a slight decrease from previous polling.
