New 2024 Presidential Election polling released Sunday by The Washington Post and ABC News shows 45th President Donald Trump holding a commanding 7-point lead over Joe Biden. The latest polling proves false the Team DeSantis argument that “Trump can’t win the general election”.
President Trump currently leads Joe Biden by 7 points, with the poll results coming in at 49% for Trump and 42% for Biden. Trump has gained 5 points on Biden since the last ABC News/WaPo poll, which was conducted in January 2023.
The newly released WaPo/ABC News poll found Trump holding an impressive 42%-34% lead over Biden with Independent voters.
The poll also asked voters, “Who do you think did a better job handling the economy – Donald Trump when he was president or Joe Biden during his presidency so far?” 56% of voters said that they preferred Trump’s economy, compared to just 36% of voters who preferred Biden’s.
Team DeSantis has been attacking Trump as a candidate that “can’t win the general election.” However, polling continues to prove Team DeSantis’ argument wrong.
Twitter users have begun mocking Team DeSantis for their “Trump can’t win the general election” stance.
One user wrote, “The Washington Post/ABC News just released a poll showing Trump trouncing Biden in the general election AND performing better against Biden than Desantis. Trump outperformed this same poll in both 2016 & 2020. The neocon argument that ‘Trump can’t win’ has officially collapsed.”

Alex Bruesewitz tweeted, “Two things that have become clear today: 1. Trump doesn’t have an ELECTABILITY problem; the ABC/WaPo poll released today has him crushing Biden. 2. DeSantis most definitely has a likability problem. He has to write “be likable” on notecards before he speaks.”

2. DeSantis most definitely has a likability problem. He has to write “be likable” on notecards before he speaks.

Gavin Wax tweeted, “Trump wins the key swing voter groups, especially the turnout variable groups, needed. As example, see Trump’s better than #DeSantis margins in YouGov poll: Women Trump +2, Black Trump +6, <30 Trump +22, <$50K Trump +6 Independents Trump +3.”

Many political insiders believe Trump’s significant lead in GOP and General Election polling will not stop Florida Governor Ron DeSantis from officially announcing his presidential run sometime this month, leading many to question DeSantis’ true intentions as to why he is running for president.
