Former President Donald Trump has surged to a significant lead over President Joe Biden and has expanded on his already sizeable advantage in the Republican primary, according to a recent survey.
Trump earned 50% support in a head-to-head matchup with Biden, who took 46% support in a recent Fox News survey. His lead over Biden was marginally smaller than that of Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who earned 50% to Biden's 45% in their own hypothetical matchup. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley earned 52% to Biden's 41%.
The survey marks the latest in a string of polls showing Trump with a lead over his 2020 rival, including a Quinnipiac survey also published on Wednesday showing the Republican with a 2% lead. Trump leads Biden by 1.3% overall in the RealClearPolitics polling average, which includes both the Fox and Quinnipiac surveys.
The Fox survey also showed good news for Trump on the primary front, with the ex-president earning 62% support among Republican primary voters, compared to nearest rival DeSantis, who took 14%. Haley earned 11% while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy placed fourth with 7%.
The 48-point lead represents a modest uptick in Trump's advantage over DeSantis from the survey's October results, which showed Trump leading by 46%.
Conducted Nov. 10-13, the survey questioned 1,001 registered voters and has a margin of error of +/- 3%, including a 4.5% margin of error for Republican primary results.
Trump needs to be 15% over Biden to beat the vote count corruption.......
