More Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say they would prefer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll.

While 35% of Republicans and Republican-leaners want Trump to run in 2024, 42% said they wanted DeSantis to run, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll released Saturday. Even among those classified as “strong Republicans,” Trump is two points ahead of DeSantis for 2024 at 45% to 43%.

Voters who “lean toward the Republican party” overwhelmingly favor DeSantis over Trump at 45% for DeSantis and 21% for Trump, the poll shows.

[I may take a closer look at this tomorrow. It’s likely due to elation over the Florida results, which may or may not last, but it’s yet another signal that DeSantis’ moment is 2024, not 2028. — Ed]
