President Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical presidential election, a new poll finds.
According to the poll by Marquette Law School, 43 percent of Americans would support President Biden in a one-on-one rematch with Donald Trump. 33 percent say they would support the former president. Around 16% would prefer someone else and 6% said they would not vote.
In a hypothetical race against DeSantis, 41 percent of Americans said they would support Biden, while 33 percent would support DeSantis. Around 18% stated they would support someone else and 8% said they would not vote.
Trump is heavily favored to win the Republican party nomination for president in 2024. If he decides not to run then DeSantis is favored to win.
The Marquette Law School poll is not an outlier. Even though President Biden’s approval rating is under water at the moment, recent polling finds that neither Trump, DeSantis nor any of their current rivals for the Republican party nomination for president can beat him in head-to-head match up.
The Marquette Law School survey was conducted from Jan. 10-21 and 1,000 adults nationwide were interviewed. The margin of error is +/- 4%.
