Donald Trump's campaign team has dismissed the finding of a poll that suggests Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be the preferred 2024 Republican candidate against Joe Biden in key swing states.
A survey from GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies shows that DeSantis, who has not confirmed he is running for president but is expected to do so soon, would beat Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania in a hypothetical 2024 face-off by 48 to 42 percent and 45 percent to 42 percent respectively.
The poll of 500 registered voters in Arizona and Pennsylvania also showed that Trump would lose to Biden in the key states if they faced off again in 2024 by 42 to 46 percent in the Grand Canyon State and by a narrow 44 to 45 percent margin in the Keystone state.
Biden managed to flip both Pennsylvania and Arizona during his 2020 Election victory after Trump won both states in 2016. *** The results of the Public Opinion Strategies poll found 58 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Trump, while 40 percent have a favorable view. In Pennsylvania, 56 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Trump, compared to 40 percent who hold a favorable opinion.
In both states, a majority of voters—56 percent in Pennsylvania and 55 percent in Arizona—said they aren't likely to vote for Trump in the 2024 Election. ***

The enemedia loves to set up let’s-you-and-him fights.
At the presidential level, the easiest election to win is for a second term. The incumbent has powerful assets.
Trump failed to get reelected. Republicans should nominate someone else.
Well, Bush-type Republicans can win. For the sake of appearances.
Is it a coincidence that the _only_ Republican Presidents between Reagan and Trump were the Bushes? The other also-rans were Dole, McCain, and Romney. Perfectly acceptable alternatives for the Dems. Though they would have been savaged by the press, too, had they won. But the D’s beat them anyway.
The blue swing states are the only ones that have to be stolen to win the presidential election, so this doesn’t surprise me.
