Around six in 10 Republicans replying to a new poll think that former President Donald Trump should be their party's presidential nominee in 2024.

The poll, carried by USA Today/Ipsos, discovered that 59% of Republicans want Trump as their nominee in 2024, compared to 41% who want someone else representing the party.

Contrarily, 44% of Democrat respondents say President Joe Biden "deserves reelection," while 56% said it's "time for a change" regarding who represents them in 2024.

"Republican voters in this poll tell us they want a fighter in 2024, and they see Trump as their champion," Ipsos President Cliff Young said, according to USA Today. "On the other hand, Democrats want someone who is both a fighter and a unifier. Right now, Biden falls short of meeting these two dueling ideals."

"In some ways, I think he's doing the best he can with the mess that Trump left behind," said Aaron Shissler, a 36-year-old left-leaning independent voter from Pocatello, Idaho. "But in other ways, I just don't think he does enough. I think he takes a lot of half-measures."

"I would hope," she said, "in this day and age that [Republicans] would come together as a party with the Democrats. I keep saying this to all my friends and family: These people, I feel like they forgot who they're working for: 'We the people, by the people, for the people.' And I feel like that's been lost somewhere."

The poll surveyed 2,345 respondents and was conducted from Aug. 18 to Aug. 22. The margin of error was 4.2%.
