Both former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would beat President Biden among Nevada voters in hypothetical matchups, according to a KLAS TV-The Hill-Emerson College poll released Wednesday.
When respondents were asked who they would vote for between Biden and Trump if the presidential election were held today, 43 percent said they would choose Trump, while 40 percent said Biden, the survey found. Roughly 13 percent say they would vote for someone else.
When pollsters were asked the same question about DeSantis and Biden, the Florida governor received about 43 percent, while Biden received 38 percent. Roughly 11 percent say they would vote for someone else.
“The demographic Biden is struggling with is Hispanic voters: In a potential general election, Trump leads Biden 45% to 37%, and DeSantis leads Biden 38% to 34% among [Hispanic] Nevada voters,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement.
Biden continues to suffer from lagging approval ratings, but recent polls also show that an overwhelming majority of Democrats would like to see someone other than Biden run in 2024, despite the White House saying the president will run again.
A New York Times-Siena College poll on Monday found that 64 percent of Democratic primary voters polled would like the party to nominate someone other than Biden as the party’s 2024 presidential nominee.
