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.

"You’re right about that. My father’s Republican party occasionally won elections"

Thanks for taking the time to answer (correctly, too) those misguided criticisms of Trump.

I’ll only add that Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani are friends from way back. I’m sure those malicious reports of nonpayment of fees are phony.

I agree. Establishment scumbags like Paul Ryan are the reason people turned to Trump

TRUMP:

Different time. Little accomplished that lasted.

For the final battle before our dear country sinks into history, choose your fighter.

President Trump’s numbers went up ten points when Jake Tapper of CNN said...”Trump was right and Biden was wrong” in the debate they had.

MHO

Can you name any enduring accomplishments made during the Trump Administration that weren’t undone by executive order when he lost in 2020?

Opening America's eyes to the corrupt media, the border crisis, the vast swamp, the corrupt Democrats, the confiscation of our freedoms, the appointments to SCOTUS.

I don't know one Trump supporter who is that blind.

Honestly, I don't know how you could spend any time on this form and say that

This is a data point on the very same poll all of you are celebrating as proof positive of Trump's insurmountable lead over the GOP field.

You can't pick and choose.

This is your question.

Best I can do is pass on a link.

And few want to pay my 1/2 day consulting rate…
…so there’s that.

Trump is too scared to debate - his opponents would most definitely bring up facts damaging to him. And he couldn’t just stand and say “witch hunt!” and “they’re not coming after me they’re coming after you” and other lines of utter b.s. like he does on his website. He’s so scared I can hear him clucking all the way in Texas.

Easy answer. There is blindness for EVERY candidate here or there, and at about the same rate. Witness you RDS supporters. On about the same level (although true belief in new candidates seems to be at a higher level). That’s a DNC/leftist talking point you’re parroting. You need to stop that BS.

Put another way, are you saying that you definitely will vote for DeSantis if DeSantis wins the nomination?

I will not vote for DeSantis because he is a sock puppet of the right wing of the Uniparty vulture, the GOPe leadership, which wants me and mine to go into the dark night quietly like a slave.

Since we are apparently in love with “YouGov” polls on this thread their Aug. 15th registered voter poll shows a Biden win in the Nov. general election vs. PDJT:
