Donald Trump not only is decisively defeating Joe Biden for President, he remains the overwhelming favorite to be the Republican nominee.
In fact, he is crushing his GOP competition.
Among Republican primary voters, Donald Trump leads the field of 13 candidates with a 51% majority.
Vivek Ramaswamy has moved into second with 13%; DeSantis has collapsed to 9%; Pence 4%, Scott 4%, Christie 4%, Haley 3%, all others received less.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., had long been viewed as Trump’s primary competitor. But the data shows he offers no real competition today.
One on one between Trump and Desantis what was once a 52% to 41% back in January, is now a 72% to 28% blowout for Trump over DeSantis. That’s a forty-four point lead.
Our poll was completed after the announcement of the Fulton County indictment of President Trump and right before the Republican debate.
This national poll of 1,000 likely voters (+/-3.1% at the 95% confidence interval), was completed between August 15th and 23rd.
Since the Republican candidate debate in Milwaukee polls show it changed nothing for Donald Trump.
Ironically, it exposed the RNC and establishment D.C. Republicans as oblivious to the existential threat of President Biden corrupting our justice system by indicting the leading Republican in the country.
Instead of standing by President Trump, or even sending Republican Party lawyers to defend their party’s last President in court from blatant Biden corruption, the RNC seemed to be at best indifferent, or worse enabling Biden’s re-election over President Trump.
At the same time the piling on of Biden indictments against Donald Trump appear to be energizing and solidifying his support among the voters.
The bottom line: Donald Trump in his singular defiance is winning.
