Ron DeSantis have pulled strongly ahead of Democratic President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Trump performs 1% better against Biden than DeSantis, according to the poll, which was taken before DeSantis formally got into the race on May 24, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>According to the poll, Biden \u201ctrails Republican former President Donald Trump by 5 percentage points among registered voters, with 52% for Trump and 47% for Biden. Biden also trails Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by 4 percentage points, with 52% for DeSantis and 48% for Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The poll found that \u201cmany voters demonstrate reluctance to choose between either pair of candidates. When voters are given the choice of Biden, Trump, someone else, or not voting, 34% say Biden, 41% say Trump, 19% say someone else, and 7% say they won\u2019t vote. When voters are given the same choices involving Biden and DeSantis, 37% say Biden, 38% say DeSantis, 18% say someone else, and 7% say they won\u2019t vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, \u201cwith the options to vote for someone else or not to vote included in the question, 26% avoid choosing between Biden and Trump and 25% avoid picking Biden or DeSantis. In both matchups, the fact of relatively high percentages saying they would vote for \u2018someone else\u2019 or would not vote indicates the potential for volatility in coming months as candidate choices are clarified,\u201d the pollster found.<\/p>\n<p>The Marquette poll is generally considered the most credible Wisconsin poll, although it was notably wildly wrong in 2016, predicting a strong Hillary Clinton victory over Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust among those who initially avoid choosing between Biden and Trump, when they are asked whom they would choose if they had to choose, 51% prefer Biden and 47% pick Trump. Just among those reluctant to choose between Biden and DeSantis, when pushed to make a choice, 42% support Biden and 58% back DeSantis,\u201d the poll says.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Marquette Law School Poll\u2019s national survey was conducted May 8-18, 2023. <\/p>\n<p>The poll has a margin of error of +\/-4.1 percentage points. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth Biden and Trump are seen more unfavorably than favorably among registered voters nationwide, with Biden at 37% favorable and 60% unfavorable. Trump is seen favorably by 38% and unfavorably by 59%. While Biden and Trump are virtually universally familiar to voters, 23% say they haven\u2019t heard enough to give a favorability rating for DeSantis, who is viewed favorably by 30% and unfavorably by 47%,\u201d the poll said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartisans are quite positive toward their party\u2019s candidates and very negative to the other party\u2019s candidates. Independents regard all three candidates more unfavorably than favorably,\u201d according to the poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/www.wisconsinrightnow.com\/trump-desantis-poll\/ A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey found&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":3073,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wi-right-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3071"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3074,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071\/revisions\/3074"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
