The Premise Poll: In a post-midterm Premise Poll, DeSantis surges with Republicans vs. Trump

In a general election match-up vs. Biden, DeSantis leads 52%-48%, and Trump trails Biden 53%-47%

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a post-midterm national sample of Republicans conducted this past weekend, November 19-20, the Premise Poll shows Florida Governor Ron DeSantis surging to a statistical dead heat with Donald Trump at 51% and DeSantis at 49%. In the last Premise Poll conducted before the midterms, taken October 31- November 2, Trump led DeSantis 65%-15% (in a survey that included several other Republican candidates).

Today's poll also shows that Biden's lead over Trump in a potential 2024 matchup appears to have grown over the last several months. A previous September Premise tracking poll showed Biden at 51% vs. Trump at 49%, a statistical tie, whereas Biden now has a six-point lead over Trump (53%-47%). Meanwhile, DeSantis now draws 52% support vs. Biden's 48%, also a statistical dead heat.

These poll results were revealed today during the Premise podcast "Great Minds Think Data," hosted by Premise CEO Maury Blackman. Blackman's guests were well-known pollster and messaging expert, Frank Luntz, and lawyer and strategist, Lanny J. Davis.

Other findings in the Premise Poll released today:

• In their head-to-head matchups with Biden, DeSantis and Trump appear to get stronger support among Independents than Biden.
• The majority of Democratic respondents (51%) supported Representative Nancy Pelosi's decision to step down as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Only 12% did not support the decision, and 37% said they did not have an opinion.
