Compare the variation of electric field and electric potential of a positive point charge with distance from the point charge.
The electric field due to a point charge $q$ varies with distance $r$ from the point charge as:
$E(r) \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$
However, the electric potential in the electric field of point charge $q$ varies with distance from the point charge as:
$V(r) \propto \frac{1}{r}$
Thus, electric field decreases faster than the electric potential with increase in distance from the point charge.
