even with declining approval numbers, Biden is currently holding onto the lead in hypothetical 2024 races against Trump or DeSantis...things will change...that's for sure...COVID...Ukraine ...inflation ...mid-terms, etc.
What is interesting to me from this poll, are the following comments reflecting views by all voters on DeSantis, Trump and Pence as GOP candidates...
----------------------
Favorability to DeSantis, Trump and Pence
DeSantis is much less well known than Trump. For DeSantis, 44% of all respondents say they haven’t heard enough to have an opinion, while 22% have a favorable view and 34% have an unfavorable opinion. For Trump, only 1% lack an opinion, whereas 32% hold a favorable view and 67% view him unfavorably.
Former Vice President Mike Pence is better known than DeSantis, with just 17% saying they don’t know enough about him, while 28% have a favorable view and 55% have an unfavorable view.
---------------------
More specifically, for Donald Trump...again, results are for all voters...
A majority of Republicans, 63%, would like to see Trump run for president in 2024, whereas 37% do not want him to run. Among independents who lean Republican, 51% would like Trump to run and 49% would prefer he not run. Very few Democrats wish him to run. Among all adults in the survey, 29% would like Trump to seek the presidency again, while 71% do not want him to attempt a return to office.
---------------------
i.e. 71% of all voters don't want to see Trump run...
Any comments.

they do not even think of the harm a Democrat would cause our country if they are cut from the current left which they all seem to be.

chronicle of Democratic administration accomplishments?...do you see them as accomplishments?...any of them?...are there any you feel have been injurious to the country's well-being?...I'd really like to hear your opinion.

This country fully deserves what it has coming.
they want to improve their odds of winning in 2024. I'm a firm believer in the 'Two Party" system, and right now IMO the GOP is no longer interested in "Public Service"...they have the 'Polar Opposite' of that concept with a strangle hold on a Base that continues to block rational candidates...
More and more, I"m detecting dissatisfaction on this board with DJT from several right-of-center posters...so, I'm hopeful that by 2023, there will be decent Republican candidates that come to the fore...and that we all will have learned a civics lesson in how to evaluate candidates for our high offices.
In my mind there are still several other policy issues that need to be viewed as "common ground" and deserving of compromise by the GOP...just as Infrastructure was...so that the country can continue to move ahead...that will only happen when Trump is gone...and perhaps, Mitch McConnell...but that's another thread.
Trump has never wanted to govern, and ran in 2016 only to feed his ego.
Not sure anything has changed. Trump can win primaries, but not a General Election. The biggest reason Trump would not run is fear of losing.
In contrast, Formidable GOP General Election candidates (e.g. Larry Hogan) cannot win GOP primaries, because the base only wants candidates who spew disinformation.
Biden never intended to serve two terms. He simply cannot say so, this early in his Presidency. That will change in Spring/Summer 2023.
The Democrats will need a force of nature in 2024 to draw turnout plus draw swing voters.

I am sure you are one of those voters who don't like their party's nominee, but will vote for the nominee anyway. Because you hate the other party's nominee much more. Nothing interesting. "Don't want someone to run" mean nothing at the end. It already happened on voters of this board, possibly including you.
Pretty sure no one on this site fits that description.
just the candidate...even someone closing in on 80 is out-polling both GOP current leaders...with ALL voters being considered.
Again...this is just one poll at a very early stage in the 2024 contest...but it does help somewhat to know that what the GOP has right now doesn't engender a high degree of confidence...and with more looming negative attention...it's only going to get worse for Trumpists and anyone who aligns with him...state and local elections in red states are another matter...but for the 2024 Presidential race, this is a serious issue IMO for the GOP....I'm hoping they move quickly toward the kind of candidates...and platforms...that Independents and fence-sitting Democrats would look favorably toward.
I am decidedly against any one party domination, but until Trumpism is flushed out of our politics, we have a problem...so says the majority of American voters.
In 2024. I belong to those 71%, i.e. I don't want Trump to run in 2024. But if he does and wins primary, I will fully support him and vote for him.
Same reasoning likely applies to you. You may not want Biden to have 2nd term. You prefer somebody else from D as next president. So, you belong to xx% voters who don't want Biden to run in 2024. But, by the 2024, you see Trump likely to be nominated and Biden is the only candidate from D who can beat Trump. You will vote for Biden.
Conclusion: It means nothing now if 71% or whatever percentage of voters don't want Trump or Biden to run in 2024. That is, it doesn't matter you want something. American presidential election has become a game. Once the game starts and you, the voter, are in the game, it will not be something you want before the game.
majority of this country's voters IMO don't want what the GOP 'stands for' right now....btw, since the Dems have won the popular vote in most of the recent Presidential elections with different candidates, and several states turned against Trump in 2020, the trend is clear...the GOP needs to re-define itself, or it's going to be more of the same in the WH....at the state and local lever, the party will have to rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression to hold on to the House and Senate...if the GOP really had the key to Independents' hearts and minds, they wouldn't need to be pulling all these voting rights tricks right now.
btw, you may think only in "negative" terms, but the Independents truly just want a candidate who can move the ball forward, and right now, they know a Trump follower can't...so it's up to the GOP to come up with someone who appeals to that block of voters...focus on those folks...not me..........oh, and "Dump Trump" ASAP...with his legal and financial woes about to be disclosed for all to see, he'll drag the party down if they don't categorically disown him...DeSantis is trying, but not hard enough, apparently.

There is absolutely no question of that.

sizable majority of all voters (71%) who don't want DJT around anymore...and with his upcoming DOJ, GA and NY/NYC trials looming...along with major debt repayments...plus Mitch McConnell and the 'Main Stream' GOP not in love with him...he's unlikely to be their nominee come 2024...which presents a conundrum for the GOP...support Trump wannabes, or look beyond his "Base" for a candidate that doesn't remind people of him?
Just remember...you are most likely not representative of Independent voters...IMO, you need to focus on them, because that Trump base appears to be dwindling.
As for the Dems and Biden...there are probably two more years before they need to make a decision on Biden, or someone else...
Again...lots of changes coming, but for now, the GOP has a major problem on its hands (i.e. how to find a non-Trump candidate for President)
btw, did you notice the limited use of punctuation marks?...

of GOP voters to him...and unfortunately for the party, that's not a good thing since any candidate that portrays him or her self as a 'advocate' of DT, will probably be carrying a "boat anchor" as a result...based on the poll I linked...therein lies the conundrum...how does the GOP shake off any semblance of "Trumpism"?...not an easy task.
This task, IMO will get progressively more difficult as the Jan. 6th investigation...and very real DOJ, GA, NY/NYC trials...come to the fore. Now if you think the majority of voters won't care about all that, then I'd suggest you seek a little assistance yourself ;-).
