The survey also found that among the 14 selected Republican candidates who
have announced or been rumored to run for president in 2024, 42% of Republican and Republican-leaning participants favored
Donald Trump. Another 36% of the same group favored Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
"They are either officially in the hunt or their names are in the GOP conversation, but the early horse race comes down to just two names," said Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy.
When asked about their attitudes towards Biden's work as president of the United States, respondents provided the following answers:
On
the situation with the Chinese balloon discovered over the US: 42% approve, while 45% disapprove
On
foreign policy: 36% approve, while 55% disapprove
On
the economy: 35% approve, while 59% disapprove

Trump,
Biden and

"Were the top-secret papers taken by design or by mistake? A large majority of Americans figure former President Trump made a conscious decision to take them home, while his VP, and to some extent his successor, are more apt to be given the benefit of the doubt," added Malloy.
