Former President Donald Trump is garnering majority support in the hypothetical North Carolina 2024 Republican primary race, a John Locke Foundation survey released this week found.
Like virtually every national survey, this state-level survey found Trump leading the Republican primary field with majority support, garnering support from 55 percent of likely GOP voters in North Carolina. No other potential challenger came close, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fell 33 points behind, with 22 percent support.
Former Vice President Mike Pence placed third with eight percent, followed by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — who officially declared her candidacy in February — with five percent support.
