Poll: Trump Posts Biggest Lead Yet over DeSantis, Other 2024 Rivals
Breitbart ^ | 20 Aug 2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 08/20/2023 11:13:08 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump posted his biggest lead yet over his rivals at 62 percent of likely Republican primary voters, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll published Sunday.

His top rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has fallen farther back from earlier this summer, the poll showed, to 16 percent. The other candidates are in the single digits, with third runner up Vivek Ramaswamy at seven percent.

Likely GOP voters also overwhelmingly said at 91 percent that during the upcoming GOP primary debate, they wanted to hear the other candidates make the case for themselves, instead of against Trump.

The poll came before Trump decided to skip the debate in favor of an interview with Tucker Carlson.

The poll was conducted August 16-18, among 2,061 adult residents, with a ±3.0 point margin of error overall, and ±5.7 points for likely Republican primary voters.

A whopping 77 percent Republican primary voters believe that the indictments in Georgia are politically motivated, and think that while Trump tried to stay in office, it was legal and constitutional and that Joe Biden did not win legitimately.

The poll showed that 73 percent of Trump voters said his legal fights are a reason for their support for him, among others.

Trump overwhelmingly beat the other primary candidates among likely GOP primary voters who say honesty is very important, with 61 percent choosing Trump as who is the most “honest and trustworthy.”

Trump voters see Trump as more honest than friends and family, conservative media figures, and even religious leaders, the poll said.

A CBS News article summarizing the poll said among those considering Trump, he “‘checks the boxes’ across all the ways voters generally make choices.” It added:

His track record shows that those considering him almost all think things were better in the country under his presidency.

The cheerleaders for the racist Indian Brahmin Viveck will feel a bit of joy followed by disappointment because the DeSantis votes will just go to Trump.

This. Now we'll see if any candidate has the sense to do that.

Looking at the pictorial post below, who could have imagined a 38 year old newbie non-politician “racist Indian Brahmin Viveck (SIC)” would be in 3rd place just prior to first debate? Goes to show at least 7% are not red necks in America.

You're so "open minded" that your brains have fallen out. Way to chide this forum like we are all racist like a good little leftist. Way to act like a twat.

Wait! There’s more! Now we’ll have a learned essay in the National Review about how much of a disaster Trump will be even if elected.

Then Bush 41 will weigh in with his brother Jeb and Chris Christie. Then George Will, William F. Buckley Jr.’s ghost at a séance, and the giant heads on Mt. Rushmore singing a barbershop quartet!

I agree with those who say Trump is and should
refer to himself as “the presumptive GOP presidential
party nominee”

Nobody is close and time is running out for
them.

Nobody will watch the FAUX debate, we already
know from leaks what Ron D. has planned, and fat
boy Christie will attack Trump with donut raspberry
filling dripping on his tie.

Vivek will say he will cut aid to Israel, Uncle
Tom from SC. will say Lisa Murkowski is right
about Trump. Pope Pius Pence will portray himself
as God’s messenger and say Biden is doing a better
job than DJT ever did so we should praise his
betrayal of Maga base.

I don’t need to watch the debates, or Trump’s interview with Tucker. My mind has been made up since 2016, and I’m voting for Trump yet again.

“My mind has been made up since 2016, and I’m voting for Trump yet again.”

Me two. Committed to vote for Trump even if he’s behind bars.

I won't be watching these rigged debates. Without Trump it's the same old lip service and lies with these lawyer politicians. We need leaders, not lawyers! Enough!

The sham debates are all directed and orchestrated by insider political posers and the lying leftist media. I don't even click on sites that are obviously run by the Communist left. Stopped doing that some years ago. I know what they're all about, so no need to give the Communist left the hits.

What desantis votes will go to Trump? Lol. Trump hasn’t even signed the loyalty pledge and you guys think desantis voters will move to him ever?

The not debating will hurt him. He needs more than his solid 25%

Funny because trumps whole campaign has been him whining about desantis and not running on his own record.

What you’re doing is called projection.

And Trump is scared to debate so you can hardly say anything about anyone else

Some of us want Trump to answer for his record.

Not everyone is a sheep just blindly following an idol. We prefer to ask questions and vote on policy as opposed to personality.
