President Joe Biden holds a comfortable 12-point lead over Donald Trump in New Hampshire in a potential 2024 matchup, in part thanks to the former president’s significant weakness among voters of his own party, according to a new poll released Friday.
Fifty-two percent of respondents to the CNN/UNH poll said they would back the incumbent Biden in a rematch against Trump, who secured just 40 percent of the vote. Trump is notably weaker with voters of his own party than is Biden: while 94 percent of Democrats say they’d support Biden against Trump in a hypothetical general-election contest, just 79 percent of Republicans say the same of Trump.
While a majority said they would be unhappy if either Biden (56 percent) or Trump (62) returned to the White House in 2024, expressions of anger and frustration were markedly higher for the former president. Of the 801 state residents surveyed by CNN and the University of New Hampshire, over half (56 percent) expressed hostility to the idea of a new Trump presidency.
A majority of respondents also expressed disapproval at the bulk of Republican presidential candidates, including entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (62 percent), former Vice-President Mike Pence (76 percent), former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (72 percent), former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley (57 percent), and Florida governor Ron DeSantis (63 percent).
