Great news for the former president and 2024 candidate.
According to polling data from McLaughlin & Associates, Donald Trump is expanding his lead among GOP challengers and pulling farther ahead of President Biden.
From The Washington Examiner:
New polling data shared with Secrets on Tuesday morning indicate that Trump has a 41-percentage-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is expected to join the GOP race this month.
“President Trump has his best poll results year to date in our poll,” John McLaughlin said.
The pollster said that Trump’s lead over DeSantis in a head-to-head vote has grown from 11 points, 51%-41% in January, to his current 67%-26% lead.

He also said that Trump’s support is strongest among those concerned that Biden has the nation on the wrong track.
“So much for the 2024 reelection announcement bounce for Biden. President Trump’s strength comes from the voters who know the country is on the wrong track and is getting worse. They can’t replace Joe Biden soon enough with President Trump,” he said.
McLaughlin also said that Trump is doing better in states key to an electoral victory.
“In 2016 and 2020, Trump never led in the national popular vote,” he said. But, he added, “if the election were held today, Trump would beat Biden in the national popular vote, and it would be an electoral landslide for Trump.”
