The research obtained by The Hill was conducted by Tony Fabrizio, who did a search for the ex-president’s campaign in 2020.
In the poll, Trump gets favorable ratings from 81 percent of voters who are registered Republicans or affiliated with Republicans, while 88 percent said they approve of Trump’s job as president.
In a primary Republican Party potential for 2024, Trump gets the support of 51 percent of Republican Party voters. No other potential candidate breaks two digits in the poll.
Trump is followed by former vice president Mike Pence

The results of the 2024 primary race survey were revealed last week.
The poll is the latest to show that Trump remains extremely popular among Republican Party bases, even after his national approval rating dropped after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
However, Fabrizio’s poll found divisions within the Republican Party and divided them into five groups: “Diehard Trumpers”, who say the former president should lead the party and “definitely” vote for him in the primaries; “Trump Boosters”, a slight majority of whom would support Trump in the primaries; “Post-Trump GOP” voters, who have a strong opinion on the work Trump did, but believe he should not run in 2024; Republicans “Never Trump” who almost unanimously agree that Trump should not lead the party; and “Infowars GOP” voters, who boast almost unanimous support for Trump and believe in conspiracy theories like QAnon.
Research shows that the former president in a potential 2024 primary gets zero percent support from so-called post-Trump Republicans and never from Trumpers. He gets 55% support among those characterized as “Trump Boosters”, 100% support among “obstinate” supporters of Trump and 80% support among Republicans “Infowars”.
The Diehard Trumpers and Trump Boosters in the poll represent 27% and 28% of the party, according to the survey. Post-Trump Republicans account for 20%, followed by Never Trumpers with 15% and Infowars Republicans with 10%.
“President Trump still has a huge influence on the party,” wrote Fabrizio in the poll, “but it is not universal or homogeneous.”
Fabrizio’s survey interviewed 1,264 Republican Party voters from February 20 to March 2 and has a 2.76% margin of error.
