President Biden would narrowly win the popular vote over former President Donald Trump if the next election were held today, but would lose to both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a new poll has found.
Biden leads Trump 49% to 48% among registered voters, while trailing Haley 49% to 45%, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.
Democratic incumbents also trail DeSantis by 49% to 47% in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.
“The Biden-Trump rematch starts at the pressure cooker level and keeps the Democrats united,” Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who helped conduct the poll, told Fox News.
“If the Republicans pick someone other than Trump, the pressure immediately goes down, and some Democrats might play around with supporting the Republicans — that’s not the case if Trump is the nominee.”
The 77-year-old Trump still maintains a commanding national poll lead over the rest of the 2024 GOP pack.

Trump has 59% support among Republican primary voters, while DeSantis is a distant second with 13%, Haley has 10% support, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is at 7%, former Vice President Mike Pence has 4%, former New Jersey Gov. Chris. Christie had 3%, and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) drew 1%.
The Fox poll closely mirrors the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate, which has Trump at an average of 57.8% support nationwide, while DeSantis received an average of 12.8% support.
The 45th president leads Biden by 0.8 percentage points in the popular vote matchup, 45.3% to 44.5%, per RealClearPolitics.

Meanwhile, only 45% of Democratic primary voters support Biden as the party’s 2024 standard-bearer, while 53% want someone else to be the party’s nominee, according to a Fox News poll.
On the Republican side, 82% of primary voters said they were happy with the candidates presented.
In another sign of voter dissatisfaction with a possible Trump-Biden rematch, 64% of respondents felt the current president is out of touch with Americans on a daily basis, with 59% saying the same about former presidents.
Voters also signaled a willingness to look at third-party candidates, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got 16% of the vote in a three-way battle with Biden and Trump, who each got 41% in that scenario.
