Scranton Joe? Hell no: Pennsylvania poll shows residents want Trump or DeSantis MORE than their native president as he keeps pushing back his 2024 announcement
- A higher percentage of PA voters want to see former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis run for the White House than President Joe Biden
- Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania
- 34 percent chose Trump and 26 percent said DeSantis, while 24 percent of likely Pennsylvania voters said they wanted to see Biden on the 2024 ballot
A higher percentage of Pennsylvanians said they wanted to see former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis run for the White House than their home-state President Joe Biden.
A new poll commissioned by the conservative Commonwealth Foundation found that 34 percent of Pennsylvanians wanted Trump on the 2024 ballot and another 26 percent would like to see DeSantis. Respondents were allowed to select multiple candidates.
Trump announced a presidential bid in mid-November and is leading GOP polls, while DeSantis has toured early primary states as part of a book tour, but hasn’t officially thrown his hat in the ring.
In third place came Biden with 24 percent.
In the same survey, 40 percent of Keystone State voters approved of the job Biden was doing – while 58 percent said they disapproved.
A survey from the right-leaning Commonwealth Foundation found that more Pennsylvania voters wanted to see former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on the ballot next year than President Joe Biden, who was born in Scranton

Biden’s approval was lower than the state’s two Democratic senators.
Sen. John Fetterman, who recently checked out of Walter Reed after being hospitalized for severe depression, was received favorably by 46 percent.
Sen. Bob Casey, who’s up for reelection next year, got a thumbs up from 48 percent of respondents.
Interestingly, following Biden in fourth place in presidential preference came Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who beat his opponent, the far-right state Sen. Doug Mastriano, by nearly 15 points during the November midterms.
Twenty percent of PA voters said they’d like to see Shapiro make a run for the White House.
The Commonwealth Foundation survey was conducted between March 24 and 29 – meaning it wrapped up a day before Trump was indicted in the Stormy Daniels hush-money probe.
Six hundred registered Pennsylvania voters were survyed.
So far, Trump doesn’t seem to be politically damaged after becoming the first ex-president to be criminally charged.
A Rasmussen Poll released Wednesday showed Trump a full seven points ahead of Biden in a general election match-up – and most of the survey was conducted after last Thursday’s indictment.
Rasmussen found that 47 percent of likely U.S. voters preferred Trump and 40 percent liked Biden.
Biden has yet to announce a run for a second term.
A recent Axios report said the president may not announce a 2024 bid until July – but could even wait until fall.
He was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania before moving to the Wilmington, Delaware area as a child.
