Poll: Donald Trump leads Ron DeSantis by 37 points in Iowa

This is the second lopsided poll of Hawkeye State Republicans this week.

Ron DeSantis keeps saying he’s “sick” of the polls lately, but a new Iowa survey probably won’t let the healing begin.

On the heels of a poll showing Donald Trump with a 32-point lead over the Florida Governor ahead of the Jan. 15 caucuses, a new Civiqs-conducted survey from Iowa State University shows an even bigger lead for the former President, with 54% of the 438 respondents saying they would caucus for Trump.

DeSantis is the choice of 17% of those polled, actually losing a point since the November survey. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley has gained ground, moving from 12% to 15%.

“The big takeaway, aside from Trump’s sizeable lead, is that the other candidates are running out of time, and it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of potential for Iowans to change their mind going into January,” says Political Science Professor Dave Peterson, who organized the ISU/Civiqs poll.

Endorsements from the most unpopular governor in America, Karen Reynolds, and the fake evangelical “leader,” @bobvanderplaats, have really hurt Rob DeSanctus in Iowa.

Wow. Iowans, take nothing for granted however! Trump supporters must flood the polls on January 15th!!! https://t.co/Cx23uqAuwx— Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 (@alexbruesewitz) December 14, 2023

How ANY state can go blue in 2024 is just complete insanity.

(Haley — 15%)

Shouldn't be more than 1%

If Trump wins Iowa by 30+ points then there will not be much to talk about thereafter.

No wonder Ron needs out of state help. 😆

Nothing will deter the DeSantis spinners—until they get their orders from Casey that they don’t have to “participate” anymore.
