Former President Donald Trump remained the 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner and defeated Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical matchup, according to a new national poll.

Based on the poll from Quinnipiac University released on Wednesday, the former president gets 47% support among Republicans and GOP leaning independents, while DeSantis was second with 33%.

The Republican respondents were given a list of 15 actual or possible presidential candidates from which to choose.

However, the same poll also showed that a majority of Americans also want Trump to be disqualified from running again if criminal charges are filed against him.

The poll revealed that should Trump be indicted in ongoing local and federal probes, 57% of respondents believe he should be disqualified from running in the 2024 presidential elections. Only 38% said he should not be disqualified. 

However, Fox News reported a big partisan divide, with 88% of Democrats and 55% of independents saying Trump should be disqualified, while three-quarters of Republicans believe he should still be able to run even if criminal charges have been set against him.
