Who will win Florida in 2024? A new poll has Biden losing to these two prominent Republicans

WASHINGTON – A new poll says President Joe Biden is struggling in the politically pivotal state of Florida, where more than half of potential voters disapprove of his handling of the economy and of his job overall.

The Suffolk University/USA TODAY Network poll of likely Florida voters suggests only 39% of respondents approve of the job Biden is doing, while 53% disapprove. By a 30-point margin – 58%-28% – the poll says voters in Florida believe the nation as a whole is on the wrong track, and a full 57% disapprove of the president's handling of the economy.

While President Donald Trump won Florida in 2020, Biden and the Democrats hope to make a big play for the nation's third most populous state, one that that will have 30 electoral votes in the 2024 election; the new poll indicates that their work is cut out for them.

Florida is the largest of a small handful of states that are not considered locked down by either party – states that, as a result, effectively determine the results of presidential elections.

The new survey also reports that two prominent Florida Republicans – Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio – are leading in their re-election bids, but not without potential danger signals.

As it stands now, Biden would lose Florida in the 2024 presidential race to a Republican nominee, whether it's DeSantis or Trump – and he is even trailing in a hypothetical Democratic primary to former presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, by a within-the-margin-of-error tally of 46%-43%.

There is no indication Clinton plans to seek the presidency again in 2024, but the poll results indicate that Biden could be vulnerable to a nomination challenge from her or another prominent Democrat.

"That's something that's got to give President Biden pause and other potential Democratic challengers pause," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
