Former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) extended his lead over the rest of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential elections and already surpasses Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by more than 30 points, according to a survey by the news network CNN published this Tuesday.

52% of Republican voters say they would support Trump in the conservative nomination, compared to 18% who say they would support DeSantis. In the last poll carried out by that chain, between June 13 and 17, both collected respective percentages of 47 and 26%.
The rest of the Republican candidates did not exceed 10% neither in this poll carried out between August 25 and 31 nor in the previous one.
The US elections will be in November 2024.
65% of conservative voters say they are convinced of their decision and rule out changing their mind as the appointment with the polls approaches.
Seven out of ten Republicans see Trump as the most capable of managing the economy, well ahead of DeSantis (9%), his former vice president Mike Pence (4%) or former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley (3%). , and they also believe that they are the ones who can best deal with immigration (65%).

Trump also remains in the lead as the most highly regarded candidate in addressing the situation in Ukraine (63%), crime and security (54%) and education (42%), as well as abortion (44%) or the climate and energy policies (49%).
The greatest concern among this electorate in the event that Trump is the chosen candidate for 2024, in their opinion, is that the opposition will attack him or refuse to work with him (8%), or also his lack of tact (8%) and a bad public image (7%). Only 6% say they are concerned about the different accusations received.

The former president is indicted in four criminal cases, two for electoral interference in Washington and Georgia, another in Florida for taking classified papers from the White House when leaving power and the fourth in New York for irregular payments to the porn actress Stormy Daniels to silence during the 2016 campaign an “affair” they had in the past.

5% of Republicans say they are concerned about his “ego” and “arrogance”, the same percentage of those who believe that the elections could be rigged against him, while 4% say they are concerned about his personality “in general” and about the possibility that his election could lead to riots or “civil war”.
