Key Facts
In a poll of 916 registered voters from Marist College released Wednesday, 60% said they do not want Trump to run again in 2024, while just 32% said he should run again.
Among Republicans, 67% said they want Trump to run – far lower than the near-unanimity he garnered from Republicans in the 2020 GOP primary and general election but more than enough to prevail in a primary.
Some 65% said Trump should concede the 2020 election, in which he won just under 47% of the national popular vote, while 61% said the results are accurate despite Trump’s unproven claims of widespread fraud.
The results of the election were deemed accurate by just 24% of Republican respondents, while 31% said Trump should concede to Biden.
Biden garners a considerably higher approval rating than Trump: while just 43% of Americans approve of Trump’s job approval as president, 56% of voters say they approve of Biden’s job on the transition.
Crucial Quote
Trump told a crowd White House Christmas party earlier this month that “we’re trying to do another four years,” but said if his legal efforts fail, “I’ll see you in four years.”
Big Number
60%. That’s the share of voters in a Politico/Morning Consult released Wednesday who said it is somewhat or very likely Trump will run again. 76% of Republicans said it is likely, compared to 60% of Republicans and 47% of Democrats.
Key Background
A Politico/Morning Consult poll in November found that Trump would get 53% of the vote in the 2024 GOP primary, with an additional 12% supporting his vice president, Mike Pence, and 8% supporting his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley each garnered 4%.
What To Watch For
Trump is planning to skip Biden’s inauguration and considering launching his 2024 bid the same day, according to reports from NBC News and the Daily Beast.
