The survey asked Republicans and Republican-leaners, “If the Republican presidential primary in your state were held today, who would you vote for?”
Trump leads the GOP primary field with a majority support, as 51 percent back him. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes in 37 points behind with 14 percent support. No other candidate comes remotely close. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy comes in a distant third with five percent support. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley comes in fourth place with four percent support, followed by former Vice President Mike Pence (three percent), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (two percent), and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (two percent). Everyone else listed on the survey — including former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, received zero percent support.

Nobody seems to be gaining traction.
The field will narrow after Iowa and New Hampshire. It always narrows down after early primaries and caucuses.
Like ... one of those unpopular Republican candidates that no one likes ... I mean ... That guy could actually win.
Man Trumps lead is really decaying I wonder if all the talk about him going to jail is catching up with his poll numbers
“Man Trumps lead is really decaying I wonder if all the talk about him going to jail is catching up with his poll numbers”
Oh I know.
WSJ :
The former president holds a 46-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to the WSJ, which polled 600 Republican primary voters at the end of August through telephone and web surveys.
Well, depends on which lame poll we’re talking about.
The more false or unproven charges allegations and smears the D party bosses and their useful idiots hit Trump with, the stronger his support gets
Ha ha, that sums up the antiTrumpers arguments.
So the latest poll shows Trump’s numbers down from two weeks ago. He was way above 40 points then….
I'm supporting someone with proven executive leadership, competence, and a record of advancing conservatism.
Polls be damned.
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.
