"The Rasmussen poll asked 1,050 U.S. likely voters who they would vote for when presented with a hypothetical presidential ticket. The survey was conducted from April 27 to May 2 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
The survey found a Biden/Harris ticket would defeat a Trump/Greene ticket with 44 percent support to the Republicans' 40 percent.
Two other potential presidential and vice presidential pairings fared notably better against the Biden/Harris ticket.
Fifty-one percent of likely voters would back a Trump ticket with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate, the poll found, while just 43 percent of respondents said they would support Biden/Harris.
"Trump/DeSantis also wins the national popular vote, which would be a first for Republicans in 20 years. Trump does well head-to-head against Biden, but adding DeSantis to the ticket is powerful," Larry Ward, president of Political Media Inc., said in a statement on Wednesday.
DeSantis is widely expected to announce his own bid for the Republican presidential nomination, though he has not yet formally entered the race, and Trump has publicly criticized DeSantis, accusing him of being "disloyal."
The Rasmussen poll also found that Trump would defeat a Biden/Harris ticket if he were to choose former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as his 2024 running mate.
A Trump/Lake ticket won 47 percent support among the poll's respondents, compared to 42 percent for Biden and Harris."
