A new poll by Politico and Morning Consult has revealed that a majority of voters would support an attempt to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024.
Fifty-one per cent said that Mr Trump is prevented from running under the 14th Amendment because he was part of an insurrection following the 2020 election.
Before the survey respondents were asked about disqualifying Mr Trump, they were asked a number of questions concerning the Constitution and Mr Trump’s behaviour after the last presidential election.
Thirty-four per cent said that Mr Trump should not be disqualified.
This comes as Mr Trump has the biggest polling lead since George W Bush in September 1999 during the 2000 campaign.
According to a CNN polling average of five national surveys conducted between 7 and 24 September, Mr Trump has the backing of 58 per cent of Republican voters.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is supported by 15 per cent – 43 points behind Mr Trump.
At a similar time in the 2000 campaign, in September 1999, Mr Bush was a 62 per cent in the polls to Elizabeth Dole’s 10 per cent – a lead of 52 points.

Forget polls. It's right in the Constitution. Enforce it!

If any other person came into the race and was found to be a rapist, bigot and is currently facing 91 felony counts there would be no way in hell they would be let to run. But because it's daddy trumpy he's given a shot. How, HOW can this be overlooked by so many.

We need a betting pool on which (if any) state chief elections officer becomes the first to deem trump ineligible for his state's printed ballot.
