Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by five points nationally in a hypothetical presidential race, per a poll.
The Messenger/Harris poll also asked respondents if both men should run for president, though they both have declared their candidacies and are their respective parties’ clear frontrunners.
Only 31 percent of registered voters say Biden should run again, while 69 percent say he should not pursue a second term. Even worse for Biden, only 57 percent of Democrats believe he should seek another term, while 43 percent say he should not. Regarding Trump, 44 percent say he should run for president, and 56 percent say he should not run. However, he performs substantially better among his own party than Biden in this regard, with nearly three in four Republicans saying he should seek to win back the Oval Office.
The poll also gauged Trump’s support among registered Republicans versus his competitors in the GOP primary. Of Republicans, 56 percent back Trump for the nomination, while his nearest competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis , sits 42 points behind at 14 percent. No other candidate reaches double digits, as former Gov. Nikki Haley and anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy tie at five percent, followed by former Vice President Mike Pence at three percent.
Former Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Tim Scott tie at two percent, while six more candidates garner one percent.
