A new poll has found most Americans do not want former US President Donald Trump to run in the 2024 presidential race. 

Seventy percent of Americans, including 44 percent of Republicans, do not want former US President Donald Trump to make a White House run in 2024, a new poll has shown.

The new poll, conducted by the Associated Press in association with the University of Chicago’s research center NORC, also found that 93 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents do not want Trump to run in the 2024 US presidential race.

The AP-NORC survey results, which were published on Thursday, showed that Trump had a significant lead in a hypothetical GOP primary over his potential rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (Rep).

However, DeSantis has yet to officially announce his decision to enter the race.

Meanwhile, other current or potential GOP candidates, such as former Vice President Mike Pence, were also way behind Trump, according to a survey on the matter.

The AP-NORC poll found that Trump has the highest net popularity rating among all the potential GOP candidates included in the survey.

In the meantime, the poll found that US President Joe Biden had the highest degree of being viewed as most favorable of all the Democratic candidates included in the survey.

Also, the AP-NORC poll found that a majority of Americans believe Trump broke the law in his alleged efforts to interfere with the counting of votes in Georgia’s 2020 election.

More than 40 percent of the respondents in the survey said the former president’s alleged actions currently at the heart of several other probes were illegal.

Trump, who was arrested earlier this month, faces 34 felony counts of criminal charges.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement that Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.”

Trump, who has denied any wrongdoings, described the charges as political persecution and election interference at the highest level.
