Of all of Donald Trump’s children, one clearly appears to have the same presidential ambitions as their father, Americans say.
In the latest exclusive poll from DailyMail.com/JL Partners, more than 1,000 registered voters were asked which of Donald’s children they think would want to occupy the Oval Office.
Of the five Trump children who either dove headfirst into their father’s political ambitions or stayed on the sidelines, Donald Trump Jr. clearly has presidential ambitions, respondents said.
About three-in-ten Americans (29 percent) expect Don Jr. will one day run for the office his father twice called his own.
The same percentage surprisingly responded that they believe none of the Trump children want to take on the most powerful job in the world like their father.
Meanwhile, about one in six respondents said the same about Barron Trump, 18, the president-elect’s youngest child.
As for the remaining Trump descendants, only 12 percent believed Eric Trump will ever run for president, while Ivanka Trump received eight percent and Tiffany Trump received five percent.

The same survey also found that voters believed Don Jr. the most helpful of his siblings was in getting his father re-elected.
More than one in four respondents (27 percent) answered that Jr. was the most helpful, followed by Barron at 12 percent.
The 18-year-old New York University student has been praised by his father and mother Melania Trump for helping coordinate media appearances to connect his father with a younger audience.
‘He has brought in so many young people. He knows his generation because the young generation today is not in front of the TV anymore,” Melania said of Barron advising his father during an interview with Fox News last week.
“They’re all on the tablets, they’re on the phones and all these podcasts and streamers,” she continued.
Trump’s non-traditional media conversations with influential podcaster Joe Rogan, streamer Adin Ross, 24, and comedian Theo Vonn have all helped the president-elect rack up tens of millions of views in the latter part of the campaign.
Barron is credited with advising his father to focus on alternative media, which senior Trump adviser Jason Miller has in turn called “absolute ratings gold that has broken the internet.”
Despite the younger Trump’s impact on the last election, most believe Jr. has the most influence on the newly elected president.
As for the remaining Trump descendants, only 12 percent believed Eric Trump will ever run for president, while Ivanka Trump received eight percent and Tiffany Trump received five percent.

According to the survey, about one in three Americans believe that Donald Trump Jr. has the most influence on his father of all Donald’s children.
Don Jr. has accompanied his father in his political escapades and business ventures for many years and is seen as the top family advisor to the newly elected president, apart from the incoming First Lady Melania.
Trump’s eldest son reportedly played a crucial role in his father tapping Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his vice president, spending hours reworking his father’s acceptance speech for the RNC nomination.
He has also advised his father on emerging technology such as cryptocurrency, which exposed their family to influential industry players, leading to Trump’s own crypto ventures.
