WSJ Poll Shows Trump Dominating the GOP Primary Field: ‘No Formidable Challenger’
Breitbart ^ | 3 Sep 2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Former President Donald Trump has no formidable challenger among Republican presidential primary candidates, according to a poll published Saturday.

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.

Bah , you only see 2 feet in front of you when you should be looking 5 feet in front. Very narrow minded

Your way will lead to American young men to fight a war In Europe. If ukraine ends russias ambitions then you save American lives. But your way you are almost guaranteed to send young men to fight in Europe. Try getting informed.

Look at the idiot’s handle.

For your children, vote for establishment, reason we are in the shape we’re in, keep bending over for the democrats, george bush.

Another idiot troll floating around here.

I advocate voting democrats in locally in batches, so we can get rid of the spineless gop incumbents next go around, but anyone who’d vote for 4 years of absolute hell over djt is an absolute brain dead moron. Especially after the last two years of pure destruction that everyone should be feeling in their wallets.

Stop gaslighting us. You convince no one with your “I’m middle of the road. I prefer Biden.” No one with amy mental acuity will vote Biden. Only the fake votes will go to him. He is corrupt, senile and treasonous. What does that say about you?

Trump didn’t cause the division, he revealed it.

Yup!

Very narrow minded people here

I fell in the same trap when bush went to war in Iraq

Let ukraine finish the job so you and all your cronies don’t fall in the same trap we did under bush

I don t want to send Americans to fight in Europe.

Let ukraine finish the job

Are you to stupid to understand this concept ?

Sounds like if the RATS wanna win, they’re gonna have to run a Hillary/Moochelle ticket. Or maybe some Jamaica and Indian broad ticket. Maybe a couple Muzzies.

I can't decide what is funnier -- you re-activating a dead-for-13-years burner account -- which I'm sure you kept up your FreeRepublic monthlies for those 156 months; or that you re-activated a dead-for-13-years burner account that says "forYourChildrenVote4Bush". LOFL.

Either way, thanks for the laugh, !Yeb!.

Tucker Carlson has a theory and its frightening. If they do so Civil War will ensue.

Formidable might be a lose word there.

Credible might be a more accurate term, since none are out
of single digits at the moment.

Some polls seem to portray DeSantis as single digits, while
others still have him in the double digit realm. Not sure
where he stands at the moment. No mischaracterization intended.

Dr. Steve Turley on YouTube had a video on it. it appears Tucker believes the logical next step for the bad guys is assassination. If the DC Uni Party attempts this, I predict Civil War and Heaven help the people behind the attempt. They would be torn to bits in the street.

Your syntax is flawed. Your opinions are all over the place w/o any internal consistency. Not a genuine portrayal.
