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.

I keep posting the same exact thought. It is so obvious Trump has better chance to defeat senile Biden than Gavin.

This latest WSJ poll is an utter scam.

First of all, the WSJ hired a paid Trump pollster, Tony Fabrizio, to conduct this poll.

Although 50% of voters consider themselves Independent, this poll shows only 13% as being Independent.

This poll shows 47% of primary voters “Could change mind and vote for someone else.”

Basically, it’s only 300 likely voters when you need a minimum of 800 likely voters to be anywhere near reliable.

The WSJ survey included 600 Republican voters who said they will vote in a presidential primary or caucus. The poll was conducted after the first debate, from August 24-30, which Trump did not participate in. The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.

>>”Independent voters are more grounded and don’t want a side show.”

True Independent voters are more grounded than you and won’t be distracted by sideshows, real or staged. They’ll look at the results and compare life under Trump vs life under Biden.

When a man says he will not support the Republican candidate, he is a Democrat. Good luck and go away.

Yep. George W. Bush is a fine example of exactly what is WRONG with the Republican Party; The GOP Establishment.

I noticed that in the name as well.
