The Hill’s survey was conducted by Tony Fabrizio, who surveyed for the former president’s 2020 campaign.
In the poll, Trump receives favorable ratings from 81 percent of voters registered as Republican or affiliated as Republicans, while 88 percent said they agreed with the work Trump did as president.
In a potential GOP primary in 2024, Trump will get the backing of 51 percent of GOP voters. No other potential candidate breaks double digits in the survey.
Trump is followed by the former vice president Mike Pence

The results of the 2024 primary race survey were revealed last week.
The survey is the latest poll to show that Trump remains overwhelmingly popular with the GOP grassroots even after his national approval rating dropped following the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
Fabrizio’s investigation, however, found divisions within the GOP, dividing them into five groups: “Diehard Trumpers,” who say the former president should lead the party and “definitely” vote for him in a primary; “Trump Boosters,” a small majority of whom would support Trump in a primary; “Post-Trump GOP” voters who have strong views on the work Trump did but believe he should not flee in 2024; “Never Trump” Republicans who agree almost unanimously that Trump should not lead the party; and “Infowars GOP” voters, who boast near-unanimous support for Trump and believe conspiracy theories like QAnon.
The poll found that in a possible 2024 primary, the former president will receive support from zero percent of so-called post-Trump Republicans and never from Trumpers. He gets 55 percent support among those characterized as “Trump Boosters,” 100 percent support among “diehard” Trump supporters, and 80 percent support among “Infowars” Republicans.
The Diehard Trumpers and Trump Boosters in the poll make up 27 percent and 28 percent of the party, according to the poll. Post-Trump Republicans make up 20 percent, followed by Never Trumpers at 15 percent and Infowars Republicans at 10 percent.
“President Trump still exerts enormous influence over the party,” Fabrizio wrote in the poll, “but it is not universal or homogeneous.”
Fabrizio’s poll of 1,264 GOP voters from February 20 to March 2 shows a margin of error of 2.76 percent.
