President Joe Biden would win re-election if he faces Trump, according to a recent Emerson College poll. Biden would beat Trump with 43% of the vote to the Republican's 41%. Although there are 6% of undecided voters who could reverse the result.
The margin would be even greater if DeSantis wins the Republican nomination. Although he has not yet announced his candidacy, according to an NBC exclusive the governor will launch an exploratory committee in May. He could even announce his candidacy on May 11, as some of his supporters are asking him to do. Against DeSantis, Biden would hold 43%, while the Florida governor would get 37% of the vote. In this scenario, 8% said they were still undecided.
However, other recent polls show DeSantis winning. According to WPA Intelligence, the Republican governor would win in the popular vote over the president.
