Title: NEW POLL: GOP Voters Strongly Support Trump in ‘24, While Governor DeSantis Holds Wide Lead if Trump Bows Out

(Austin, TX—May 12th, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Conducted from April 27th to May 3rd, the poll of 1,500 likely 2022 general election voters has a margin of error of 2.9%. The survey reveals voters’ views on the president's job approval, various national issues, and provides insight into how the 2024 presidential primaries are shaping up.

“Republican voters clearly support anti-establishment candidates and a Trump run in 2024. If President Trump doesn’t run, voters widely prefer Governor Ron DeSantis. Both men represent a return to Constitutional principles, common sense leadership, and the courage to stand against Washington, DC,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “In contrast, there is little support for the inside-the-beltway Republicans who are providing tepid opposition to Biden’s far-left agenda.”
