A UC Berkeley/L.A. Times poll finds Republicans strongly favor Trump in California's 2024 primary, though voters are concerned about his and Biden's vulnerabilities.
New state GOP presidential primary rules for 2024 are likely to help Trump win California delegates and make the state less competitive for other Republicans.The new poll shows about 55% of likely Republican voters plan to cast their primary ballots for Trump. DeSantis’ support has plummeted to 16% — less than half of what he had earlier this year.
“It’s a startling development given the fact that over the past year, there appeared to be sentiment among Republicans looking for an alternative to Trump,” DiCamillo added. “That has changed, and Trump is now the odds-on favorite.” The state party’s rule changes were one factor in the recent decision by a super PAC backing DeSantis toThe poll shows that support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, seen last month at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, has dropped among likely Republican primary voters in California.
Biden gets less support from young, Latino and Asian American voters than from white and Black voters. That difference in enthusiasm is unlikely to hurt his chances in California, given his wide lead, but it reflects a problem for the president that could be serious elsewhere in the nation.
