Following his dominant win in Iowa and polls showing him ahead of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump is ‘on top of the world’ and already being treated like he’s won the 2024 election.
Trump continues to show dominance in hypothetical matchups against Biden, with a poll showing him leading Biden head to head by four points and three points if third party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are included.
Heading into the New Hampshire primary, he also leads in the polls over Republican rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
According to those close to Trump, he’s flying high despite his legal, troubles and his friends at Mar-a-Lago are prepared for a November win.
‘Trump’s on top of the world right now,’ a source close to Trump told Page Six. Everyone is already treating him like he’s the president in Florida.’

‘He’s totally convinced he’s on the path to winning the presidency again. He’s very upbeat,’ the source added.
‘He’s elated… he’s already predicting a landslide in the entire country to aides and friends.’
A Harris/The Messenger poll suggested that, while not a landslide, he’s currently slated to bag a hefty popular vote victory if the election were today.
The poll shows Trump leading Biden by a margin of 52-48 when matched up against each other.
Another survey taken that included options to vote for the likes of RFK Jr., Jill Stein and Cornel West show Trump besting Biden 43-40, with Kennedy leading the rest of the field at 12 percent.
Trump may get a boost from his family on the campaign trail soon as wife Melania – absent while caring for her mother who died recently – is set to come back to help support her husband.
‘Once her period of mourning is over, you can expect her to appear with him at key moments… somewhere important,’ a source said.
‘She wants to make meaningful appearances, not make routine campaign stops which his sons do.’

The source also said that youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, will also begin to appear on behalf of her father.
Trump appears headed for another big victory in New Hampshire next week, despite Haley’s backer Governor Chris Sununu having previously said that his candidate would win.
The survey had Trump hitting 50 percent in the Granite State, just days after romping to victory in the Iowa Caucuses.
Haley, his chief rival in the state, was at 34 percent in the new Suffolk University/Boston Globe/NBC-10 poll, 16 points behind the frontrunner, after having come in third in Iowa.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who edged out Haley for second place in Iowa, was down at 5 percent.
Another recent poll, by WHDH-TV/Emerson, also had Trump holding a 16-point lead, but that was when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was still in the race. Christie’s exit has created the expectation that much of the anti-Trump candidate’s supporters would flock to Haley.
New Hampshire is critical to Haley’s own battle plans to try to unseat Trump. The state allows unaffiliated voters to cast votes in the GOP primary.
Trump’s campaign also began unloading on Haley on issues ranging from taxes to social security – even going after her by saying she ‘loves China.’

That critique comes from when she was serving as UN Ambassador – during the Trump administration.
While representing America as ambassador to the United Nations, Haley described Communist China as being ‘a really great friend of ours,’ according to the release, which featured a clip amid Trump’s own meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in an effort to secure more pressure on North Korea.
Trump also blasted Haley on Tuesday night, accusing her of exploiting the party’s election rules.
‘Nikki Haley in particular is counting on the Democrats and liberals to infiltrate your Republican primary,’ said Trump before an adoring crowd at the Atkinson Country Club.
‘You know that the left … that’s what’s happening … have a group of people coming in that are not Republicans and it’s artificially boosting her numbers here, although we’re still leading her by a lot.’
Haley does better among independents in the survey, getting 44 percent support to his 38 percent. But he ran up the numbers among Republicans and conservatives.
