Noem is the preferred pick for his running mate in a newly released poll of
Michigan voters conducted by Kaplan Strategies on February 23, 2024.

Among those polled, 46 percent had a “very unfavorable” view of President


Joe Biden. When asked who they would vote for if the presidential election
were to be held today, former President Donald Trump bests President Joe
Biden by a 10% margin with respondents favoring Trump 46% to 36%.

Of the potential vice-presidential nominees for the Trump ticket, Kristi


Noem, had the highest favorability rating, with 39 percent of voters holding
a very or somewhat favorable view of Noem. After Noem, 33 percent of
voters hold a favorable view of Ben Carson and Ron DeSantis. While 29
percent hold a favorable view of Vivek Ramaswamy. Senator JD Vance had a
16% approval rate, while Congresswoman Elise Stefanik from New York
garnered a 14% approval.

When Governor Noem was added to the Trump ticket, respondents favored
the Trump/Noem ticket with 48% over the Biden/Harris ticket at 36%. No
other potential Vice Presidential candidate positively impacted the results
for President Trump.

The poll was conducted during the two days ahead of the South Carolina
Republican Primary in which Donald Trump defeated Nikki Haley by nearly
20 percentage points.
The survey included 1019 registered voters and had a margin of error of
3.1%, with 36% of respondents self-identifying as moderate, 41% as either
somewhat conservative or very conservative, and 23% as somewhat liberal
or very liberal.

Doug Kaplan, president of Kaplan Strategies was previously president of


Gravis Marketing, a firm specializing in research, polling, and political
strategy. President Trump has mentioned Kaplan polls on multiple
occasions. Kaplan was one of the few pollsters to accurately predict Trump
would win the primary within 30 days of entering the results. Kaplan also
predicted Trump would win the 2016 election after basing his modeling on
Brexit.
