Dan Mitchinson: US correspondent on Donald Trump leading Biden in a hypothetical 2024 match up poll - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Former US President Donald Trump holds the lead over President Joe Biden, according to a hypothetical poll released by Emerson College.

44 percent of voters have stood behind Trump, as opposed to the 41 percent who backed Joe Biden. The remaining voters didn't favour either candidate.

US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says this poll doesn't prove much for the state of the 2024 election, as more Republican voters are in favour of Ron DeSantis as the future of the party.
