A recent Ipsos/Reuters poll conducted in the last weeks of 2021 found that over half of Americans (56%) believe that the economy and the country are headed in the wrong direction – with 63% of independents and 81% of Republicans in agreement.
Of those Republicans surveyed 54% said they would support Donald Trump for the Presidential nomination in 2024, with Ron DeSantis trailing at #2 with 11%.
The full results of the poll can be found here.
Polling is just one part of the picture – the party leadership and fundraising also play a critical role in who the potential frontrunner for nomination in 2024 would be.
The former president's three main political fundraising committees reported hauling in a combined $82 million during the first six months of the 2021, with over $100 million cash on hand as of the end of July, which was the most recent filing period for the groups. Fueling much of the fundraising are Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” and “stolen.”

In addition to a strong fundraising operation headed into the new year, the perception among Republican leadership matters. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Trump would likely have the nomination – if he wants it.
Unless there's something coming out of left field I don't see coming, it's his nomination if he wants it,” Graham told guest host Pete Hegseth on “Hannity” Wednesday. “The Republican base appreciated him. We don't appreciate all the things he does sometimes. But from a policy point of view, he was the most successful president from a conservative's point of view since Ronald Reagan.”

Pfft! 2022/2024 national election polls are irrelevant as long as the Democrat election fraud apparatus is still intact! …and it still is!!
Pfft! The current 2022/2024 national election polls are irrelevant as long as the Democrat election fraud apparatus is still intact! …and it still is!!
Trump blew a 2 month window as President. November 2020 – Jan 6th, 2021.
Trump did not fight the obvious and well documented election fraud hard enough. We must deal with the consequences now, for 4 years!
There was more than enough evidence for Trump’s DOJ to arrest Quid Pro Joe and his son long before the election, but they did not.
Trump should have declared Martial Law and arrested the Deep State using the DOJ under RICO laws, but did not.
Trump should have declared an Emergency National Security Resolution and built the damned wall and deported 28 million illegal Aliens, but did not.
Also, Trump should have arrested Big Tech CEO’s using the DOJ and FCC under Anti-Trust and RICO laws, but did not.
Trump and his DOJ failed America by, OMISSION OF ACTION!
I bet Trump naively even thinks the Democrats will play fair in the 2020 and 2024 elections!
