With the second Republican presidential primary debate just days away, former President Donald Trump maintains a huge lead in both the first-in-the-nation Iowa and the latest national poll conducted by The Trafalgar Group.

Trump leads the Iowa Caucus polling over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (16%) and the field by nearly 33 points, pulling 49% support in the battleground state in which DeSantis and others have homed their resources.

The results there roughly mirror the nationwide GOP primary polling by The Trafalgar Group, although Trump is even stronger there, pulling in a 56% majority of support and leading DeSantis (14%) and the field by nearly 42 points.

The full national poll released Friday night by The Trafalgar Group:

  1. Trump 56.1%
  2. DeSantis 14.3%
  3. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy 5.9%
  4. Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley 4.2%
  5. Former Vice President Mike Pence 3.8%
  6. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum 3.2%
  7. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie 3.2%
  8. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina 3.0%
  9. Conservative broadcaster Larry Elder 1.3%
  10. Michigan businessperson Perry Johnson 1.1%
  11. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson 0.4%
  12. Texas businessperson Ryan Binkley 0.2%
  13. Former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, 0.1%

There were 3.1% of likely GOP primary voters undecided in the national poll.

The race in Iowa is a bit closer for the field, but it remains a Trump runaway in the Iowa Caucus poll released Thursday by The Trafalgar Group. The full Iowa GOP caucus likely voter results:

  1. Trump 48.6%
  2. DeSantis 16.2%
  3. Haley 8.4%
  4. Scott 6.8%
  5. Ramaswamy 6.6%
  6. Pence 3.8%
  7. Burgum 3.6%
  8. Christie 2.2%
  9. Johnson 0.8%
  10. Hutchinson 0.4%
  11. Binkley 0.2%
  12. Elder 0.2%
  13. Hurd 0.1%

There were just 2.2% of like Iowa GOP caucus voters undecided in the poll.

The Trafalgar Group polled 1,091 like GOP primary voters nationally Sept. 18-21, and those results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. The pollster surveyed 1,079 likely Iowa GOP primary voters Sept. 14-18, and the results

What do I think about Donald Trump?

Well, I think he’s God’s man for the hour. He stands against the Satanic Left like no other. He loves America and has given his all to defended her and rescue her.

God bless him.

But does Trump really know what makes America great? I don’t think so. He seems to think the answer is using unconstitutional government “the right way” (ie doing the wrong thing the right way). But as Reagan repeated often, “[Unconstitutional] government isn’t the solution, it is the problem.”

Trump (and America in general) seem lost on the idea that the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution CREATES AND DEFINES the United States of America as a Free Constitutional Republic. (Even Trump talks about America in terms of “democracy” which it is not.)

So Trump is here to wage war on those who hate America and to make America strong again. But when he’s done, then what? He’s “saving” America by using the $3+ trillion 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government. But what makes America strong and great? Unconstitutional government????

NO!!!

What makes America strong and wealthy is CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT!!!!

America in the 1800’s was one of the freest societies ever in history. Government spending was a mere 5% or so of the GDP. Nobody thought about the feds. Everyone was too busy living their lives as they saw fit. And what emerged from the 1800’s and into the 1900’s was the feest, stongs, and wealthiest nation in the world. Because of government???? No!!! Because of CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT!!!!

Mainstream media spin will be: "Poll: Trump underperforming in Iowa. Vulnerable?"

Trump did not buy the Glock - he’s not allowed to under the law.

Trump connects with people better than any politician I have seen in my 83 years on earth, except Jawaharlal Nehru.
