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

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.

So in other words, we should do as you say, but not as you do. Understood.

“Now that he knows, he’ll fire the whole damn bunch of them this time.”

No, he won’t. Here’s what’s going to happen. Competent people aren’t going to want to work with him, so he’s going to put Laura Loomer or someone else with loyalty but not actual competence into place, they won’t know what they’re doing and will get sabotaged by the deep state in the process, then Trump will go on Hannity to talk about how it isn’t fair

And to be clear, it ISN’T fair. He truly has been treated unfairly. But he’s also not going to be able to dig himself out of the hole he’s been thrown into.

Dear Puddin’ Fingers, Rapmaster Flash, Fat Boy, and the rest of you losers. President Trump is going to be the nominee for President in 2024 on the GOP ticket.

We want Trump.

Do you get it yet? How can you ignore all of us?

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.

Yea, but its going to be a fun night watching President Trump slice and dice these pretenders!

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

Have you spent the last 10 years in a basement? The tsunami change in the Supreme Court is massive. Work on the wall was completed. More money in the hands of taxpayers instead of the bloated government. Should I go on?

> 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.

Ditto that. I’m writing in Trump if I have to.
