The 2024 election looks set to be a rematch between President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump.
Despite his mounting legal problems, Mr Trump is by far the most popular candidate in the Republican field.
Only Florida governor Ron DeSantis has reached double digits but he remains miles behind Mr Trump.
Author Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr are challenging Mr Biden for the Democratic nomination but they are not considered real threats to the president.
Mr Trump was indicted for the third time on 1 August for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. As Democrats coalesce behind Mr Biden, Mr Trump’s mounting legal woes appear to only strengthen his support among his base.
The Republican primary is scheduled to begin with the Iowa caucuses on 15 January and the New Hampshire primary on 23 January. The primary season may go all the way into June, but who the nominee will be is expected to become clear well before that point.

Cornell West candidacy narrows Trump-Biden gap in Arizona poll

Mr West received four per cent, while Mr Biden was backed by 41 per cent and Mr Trump by 42 per cent.
The Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, Spencer Kimball, said in a press release that “in national and statewide polling in recent months, West’s candidacy has taken votes away from Biden in the general election, however in Arizona it appears to tighten the race, rather than just reduce Biden’s support”.

DeSantis’s battle with Disney doesn’t appear to be doing him any favours with GOP voters
Ron DeSantis’s battle with Disney doesn’t appear to be doing him any favours with the Republican electorate, according to a NYT/Siena College poll.
Thirty-eight per cent of GOP voters said they would back a candidate pledging to fight “woke” corporations, while 52 per cent would support “a candidate who says that the government should stay out of deciding what corporations should support”.
The poll found that 30 per cent of Republican voters think that transgender people should be accepted as the gender they identify with, while 58 per cent said those identities should be rejected.
Half of all GOP voters support gay marriage, while 41 per cent oppose it, the poll found.
More than half – 51 per cent – said they would back a candidate who pledged to guarantee individual freedom instead of “traditional values”. Forty per cent said they would back the latter.

Bashing ‘wokeism’ less effective with GOP primary voters than law and order, poll shows
Slamming “woke” institutions and beliefs may be less effective to persuade Republican primary voters than previously believed, polling shows.
NYT/Siena College polls of national and Iowa GOP voters have revealed that candidates were unlikely to convince voters to support them by mostly focusing on battling “wokeism”.
Republicans are instead more enticed by more libertarian economic policies and strong messaging on law and order, specifically regarding cities and the border.
When Mr Trump was in Iowa in June, Mr Trump said: “I don’t like the term ‘woke’. It’s just a term they use — half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is.”
While the line appeared to be intended as a criticism of Mr DeSantis, the polling indicates that Mr Trump me be on to something.
Choosing between two hypothetical GOP candidates, 24 per cent of national GOP voters supported “a candidate who focuses on defeating radical ‘woke’ ideology in our schools, media and culture” instead of “a candidate who focuses on restoring law and order in our streets and at the border”.
Meanwhile, 65 per cent said they would support the law and order candidate.
In the group of voters aged over 65, a demographic with high voter turnout, only 17 per cent preferred the “anti-woke” option.
