Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican primary field, more than doubling his closest competitor’s support, according to a YouGov/Economist poll. The poll also found President Joe Biden and Trump are neck and neck in a hypothetical general election race.

Trump sits atop the field with 48 percent of support among registered voters who plan to vote in the GOP primary, placing him 26 points ahead of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) with 22 percent. A YouGov poll conducted for Yahoo News last month showed similar results among a sample of U.S. adults. Trump landed at 48 percent in that poll, while DeSantis was at 24 percent.

No other candidate in the current poll breaks double digits, with former Vice President Mike Pence at five percent in third place.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) follow right behind Pence, with three percent apiece, while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) tie at two percent.

Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR), Gov. Doug Bergum (R-ND), Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), and conservative radio host Larry Elder did not secure a percentage point.

The poll also asked Republicans who their second choice candidate would be, revealing 34 percent have DeSantis as a backup plan, while 13 percent say Trump is their second choice. Ten percent say Ramaswamy is their second favorite candidate, while nine percent see Scott and eight percent see Pence in that light. Another five percent say Haley, while two percent identify Christie as their second option. Elder and Hutchinson each took one percent.

The first choice portion of the poll included samples from 502 registered voters planning to vote in the primary, .

News like this makes me contemplate a little operation chaos. I’d like to vote RFK Jr. just to see Biden primaried.

DeSantis needs a multiplatform multidemographically weighted strategy. Segmented in targeted feedback modelling until he hits the optimal paradigm.

Careful what you wish for. I just finished reading an article stating Obama thinks Biden is too old and working behind the scenes. I still expect “Big Mike” to be slipped in as the nomonee. Obama’s 4th term.

These MSM posts declaring Trump the inevitable R nominee are making me nervous.

The DS is up to something.

Trump needs to spend every minute in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia for any chance at all in 2024. And in Arizona don’t mention McCain for God’s sake.

DeSantis Looks & sounded like a man who got into something he wasn’t ready to tackle. His face looks frightened. I feel sort of sempathetic for him.
