Hi OnPolitics readers, it's Tuesday and we're bringing you news from an exclusive -- and newsy -- poll. Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page writes:

Republican support for Donald Trump's presidential bid in 2024 has cratered, an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, as the former president is beleaguered by midterm losses and courtroom setbacks.

What else to know:

•	By 2-1, GOP and GOP-leaning voters say they like Trump's policies but want a different 2024 presidential nominee to champion them.
•	Two-thirds of GOP and GOP-leaning voters want Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for the White House. By double digits, 56% to 33%, those voters prefer DeSantis over Trump.
•	President Joe Biden now leads Trump in a head-to-head matchup, 47%-40%.
•	Biden hasn't seen his political standing get much worse, but it also hasn't gotten much better.
