President Donald Trump, 74, will still be the leading Republican presidential candidate in 2024, according to the latest Morning Consult Poll for Politico released Tuesday.
The president, assuming he relinquishes the White House in the coming months, is favored by 53% of GOP voters in the poll, easily outdistancing a large field, per the poll:
- Donald Trump 53%.
- Mike Pence 12%.
- Donald Trump Jr. 8%.
- Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, 4%.
- Former Amb. Nikki Haley 4%.
- Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas 4%.
- Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., 2%.
- Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., 1%.
- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Okla., 1%.
- Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., 1%.
- South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem 1%.
- Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., 1%
- Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker 0%.
- Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan 0%.
- Someone else 3%.
- Would not vote 5%.
Donald Trump Jr. showed surprising strength in the poll, lending credence to the notion the Trump name will remain a strong GOP brand if Democrat Joe Biden is inaugurated in January.
White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien was not listed as an option in the poll, but he has expressed an interest in a potential White House run in the future, according to the New York Post.
If President Trump were to run in 2024, he would be the same age as Joe Biden, 78, in his presidential campaign.
There was just one president to serve non-consecutive terms in U.S. history, Democrat Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s.
Morning Consult polled 1,990 registered voters and 765 GOP voters Nov. 21-23 with a main sample margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. No margin of error was listed for the GOP-only sub-sample.
