If pro-life Florida Governor Ron DeSantis were to run for president, a new poll shows he would defeat pro-abortion Joe Biden in a possible 2024 presidential matchup.
According to a new survey from Emerson College Polling, DeSantis has a four percentage point lead over Biden among voters in the battleground state of Georgia. DeSantis received 47 percent support, compared to Biden’s 43 percent support.
A new Emerson College poll indicates that Georgian voters would support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) over President Joe Biden (D) in a hypothetical presidential race.
Gov. DeSantis has not confirmed if he’ll be making a run for the White House in 2024, but he’s already created buzz over his hypothetical candidacy while also generating a rivalry with President Donald Trump (R), who has announced that he’ll be running.
In the poll, Governor DeSantis maintained a 4-point advantage over President Biden with a score of 47% to 43%. Moreover, 6% of those polled said they wanted another candidate, and 4% said they were undecided.

Republican DeSantis has pulled into a tie with the Democrat incumbent in a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup, with each receiving 42 percent support from registered voters nationwide, according to the poll of more than 1,000 adults. The survey was conducted Nov. 15-22.
DeSantis, fresh off his nearly 20-point drubbing of Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist in Florida’s gubernatorial race, has increased his support in polling since January. Biden’s support, meanwhile, has idled.
Biden bests Trump in a head-to-head matchup, though, with 44 percent to Trump’s 34 percent. Another 23% say they prefer someone else or would not vote.
DeSantis’ favorability ratings among Republicans have tracked upward in the poll, with 68 percent of respondents holding a favorable opinion, 22 percent unfavorable, and 22 percent saying they don’t know enough to give a rating. In January, 57 percent were favorable, 9 percent unfavorable, and 34 percent lacked an opinion of DeSantis.
Among Republican registered voters, Trump is seen favorably by 67 percent and unfavorably by 32 percent.
While Joe Biden is a radical pro-abortion activist, President Trump compiled a solid pro-life record as president. And Governor RonDeSantis is solidly pro-life — having signed a 15-week abortion ban and compiled a 100% pro-life voting record in Congress.
