The poll, published by the Wall Street Journal, showed that Trump is the top choice of 59 percent of GOP primary voters — up 11 percentage points since April.
“The new survey finds that what was once a two-man race for the nomination has collapsed into a lopsided contest in which Trump, for now, has no formidable challenger,” a WSJ article on the poll said.
Trump’s lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has nearly doubled since April to 46 percentage points, the survey showed.
Compared to Trump’s 59 percent support, DeSantis garnered only 13 percent, putting him only barely ahead of the rest of the GOP primary field.
That figure represented a collapse of support for DeSantis, which was 24 percent in April.
“DeSantis collapsed,” said Democrat pollster Michael Bocian, who conducted the poll with Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio.
“The one candidate who back in April really seemed to be a potential contender, seemed to have a narrative to tell, has totally collapsed, and those votes went to Trump,” he said.
The poll showed that four indictments of Trump have not hurt him with Republican primary voters.
More than 60 percent polled said the indictments were politically motivated and without merit, according to the poll.
A 78 percent majority even said Trump’s actions after the 2020 election were legitimate efforts to ensure the vote was accurate, while only 16 percent said Trump acted illegally to try to block the certification of the election.
A near majority — 48 percent — said the indictments made them more likely to vote for Trump in 2024, while only 16 percent said they made them less likely to support him.

The poll found that changes in support for Trump are unlikely. About 76 percent of Trump supporters said they are committed to him and will not change their minds. Meanwhile, only 25 percent of DeSantis supporters said they will not change their mind.
Lawfare isn't working anymore. Whatever will they do?
The poster girl for affirmative action, Fulton County
DA Fani Willis, charged Trump with RICO and “conspiracy”
for daring to use if, and, and but, in the same sentence.
All of her cuckoo charges have been met w/ a huge yawn.
OTOH, unelected Hunter Biden blithely met with the “impeach Trump” Congressional team...... as if the filthy cokehead whoremonger was entitled to a have a say in impeaching Trump. More likely the no-good Hunter was a plant, to make sure daddy got his say.
Remember, at the same time,
<><>the FBI had the filthy Hunter’s “laptop from hell”
<><>verifying electronically codifed numerous crimes WRT the criminal Bidens in Ukraine
<><>elected Democrats were persecuting Trump with a falsified impeachment investigation.
<><>as Pelosi and Schiff lied on the House floor about Trump’s official phone call to Zelensky.
GO TRUMP GO
Lawfare isn’t working anymore. Whatever will they do?
I guess they’ll just skip it and go back to insider trading.
I don’t care what a biden trump poll says now. Those polls are worthless this far out.
Americans have a 1 month attention span
Does anyone really believe that trump will win the independent vote !!?? You’re kidding yourself especially when the trial begins. I think independent voters are permanently turned off by trump and especially with his legal problems.
Independent voters are more grounded and don’t want a side show. They will hold the nose and vote biden over trump and his legal problems
Why do I say that ? Because I am like them. I think the same way. I’m middle to right but I would rather vote for biden then trump
My first option is desantis and Haley. I still think he will do better. He is a smart man
p
Greg Kelly on Newsmax dropped an ashtray on Biden. Audiotape of Biden coming out in few weeks that reveals his corruption for all to hear.
He is a smart man.
Ronnie is so smart, he has destroyed his own campaign.
Why do you guys want biden out ? He easy target and the republicans will win with biden as the nominee. I dont understand this !!
The guy from California will come in or someone else and will win against the republican nominee especially if it’s trump.
Biden is the easiest target.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
You guys need to make sure biden runs !! He is your best chance at winning the presidency
What I meant was , with biden running it almost guaranteed a win for republicans
The primaries will decide who wins the nomination, Trump has a lot of trouble ahead of him, DeSantis not
If you would rather vote for Biden than Trump you’re not “middle to right”, you’re batshit crazy. You sure as hell can’t claim to be a conservative. I think Trump is a sure loser in 2024 and I wish he would go away, but I would vote for him in a heartbeat over Biden or any other Democrat and twice on Sunday. This post should be your opus.
Wholesale lying by all aspects of the government and big business has been exposed. All trust has been broken.
We are in uncharted territory where previous models and indications of what you think people think are no longer valid.
Ignore this clown. Until just recently, whoever is behind this account last posted on October 20, 2010 -- yeah, nearly 13 years ago -- and then, starting this past Friday, starts posting in favor of DeSantis and flacking the necessity for the U.S. to back the Ukrainians.
Since my tax dollars are paying for it, I would have hoped for better from our Deep State "endless war" shills. A little more subtlety at least.
Trump didn’t cause the division, he revealed it.
