Former President Donald Trump is backed by 70 percent of Kentucky Republicans in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination, according to an Emerson College/Fox 56 Lexington poll.

The poll published Sunday shows that 70 percent of “very likely” GOP primary voters in Kentucky say they support Trump for the nomination, giving him a 56-point advantage over his nearest potential competitor, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is at 14 percent. Trump’s edge has grown by a net 17 points in just one month, as April’s Emerson College/Fox 56 Lexington poll out of Kentucky showed him leading DeSantis 62 percent to 23 percent:

As was the case in April, no other declared or potential candidate garners more than four percent support in the latest poll. Four percent of respondents back former Vice President Mike Pence, while three percent back former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) draws two percent, while one percent support Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is set to announce a decision on a White House run in late May.

The survey also gauged support for Tuesday’s Republican gubernatorial primary in Kentucky, finding that Trump-endorsed candidate Attorney General Daniel Cameron enjoys a double-digit lead over the field, having 33 percent of support. Another 18 percent of respondents back former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft, followed by Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, who has 13 percent, and attorney Eric

The poll found that nearly half of the respondents (48 percent) say they are “More likely” to vote for a candidate with Trump’s endorsement versus just 12 percent who are “Less likely.” Another 41 percent say Trump’s backing has no impact on their vote one way or the other.

Has Trump ever apologized to him?

Massie did endorse Trump in 2020 IIRC. And would endorse him for the general.

They worked it out and Trump gave him a very nice endorsement in 2022 and it’s still on his website. But apparently Massie is still a little butthurt endorsing Ron last month who “isn’t even running.”

Come ooonnnnn deeesantis!

You either gotta put up or shut up

Find your b***s and get your tail in gear and announce you're running for president!

I want Trump to totally crush you, flatter than a smear of roadkill on the road.

I want Trump to beat you so badly, when they bring up the name desantis, people will laugh crazily and say, "that loser that lost worse than Jeb?"

I want to see Trump dominate a debate with desantis so completely, that all desantis does is his I'm not a candidate bobblehead routine

Maybe then, it'll silence some of the nevertrumpers/rebranded desantis supporters that are flooding many forums like here, spamming lies and attacking Trump and his supporters, and ruining them as places for content.

This place is really turning into RinoRepublic.com

Put your fears to rest: You dreams of more covid lockdowns, Fauci elevations, fake-vaccine victory laps, bump stock bans, prison emptying, HBC handouts, “dreamer” and H1B visa accommodations, woke corporation acquiescence and the world’s worst GOP cabinet picks will never come to pass as Trump has already served his last term no matter what happens in the primary.

The Republican Party is chock-full of peeps that can wait to side with Dems and criticize Trump. Many are building that fifth Fortune.

It’s so odd the Dems don’t even have one like that.

One side requests Loyalty.

Aren’t you going to be sad when the Globalist / GOP-E bought and sold Trojan Horse DeSanctimonious gets blown out in the primaries by Trump!?!?

Yes, I would be sad if the stupid party lives down to their name and ensures 4 more years of this half-dead Marxist puppet by nominating that RINO blowhard once again.
