Poll: Trump Boasts Massive 43-Point Lead in Iowa
Breitbart ^ | 1.9.24 | HANNAH BLEAU KNUDSEN

President Donald Trump is boasting a massive 43-point lead in Iowa, a Morning Consult survey found.

The polling examining the race in Iowa shows Trump with a stunning, garnering 58 percent support.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, not Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, emerges to a distant second place, 43 points behind with 15 percent support.

DeSantis falls closely behind with 14 percentage points, followed by Vivek Ramaswamy with ten points, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with two points, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson with a single point.

The surveys were taken between December 1, 2023, through Jan. 7, 2024, among 353 potential Republican caucus-goers in the Hawkeye State:

Trump’s lead reflects an eight-point increase since the last survey taken in November, and Haley’s 15 percent support reflects a four-point increase over the same time frame.

DeSantis’s support, however, has fallen by four points.

The results are shocking as the Iowa caucus barrels down on the presidential hopefuls. DeSantis has predicted victory in Iowa several times and long boasted of his endorsement from Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R). However, that failed to move the needle in DeSantis’s direction at all.

I admired what DeSantis did as Governor of Florida for quite some time.

Now I wouldn’t cross the street to pee on him if he were on fire.

But, but, but... I’ve been told

The polls lie, they know biden can beat Trump, so want Trump to win the primaries

everyone hates Trump, so the left will do everything they can to keep him from being elected, desanctimonius is more likeable, so they won’t cheat or anything against him.

desanctus will win the Iowa caucuses, then he’ll win against biden

A word of caution. The game in the Iowa caucuses is as much about beating expectations as winning. Never dismiss who counts the votes and controls the narrative in Iowa . . . and it doesn’t look to be MAGA.

If Trump falls short of projections by 5% and Haley or DeSantis do 5% better . . . they will be declared the winners.

Remember, we’re living in wacko world right now.

It’s very hard to Drain the Swamp.

It occurs to me the Vivek guy might be best suited as head of the RNC — but that risks being co-opted as all the staff around him begs him to focus on fundraising (for their salaries).

DeSantis and Haley are, of course, disqualified because they have had a political Swamp career. There is no fixing that and best they both return to private life.

Don’t worry. Those hidden legions of conservative voters who have been waiting for decades for just the right candidate will finally turn out and save the day.

Some one should show this poll to Chip Roy. Yesterday he said DeSantis is closing in on Trump in Iowa and will surprise everyone when this is over. What a dipsh#t...

General Election Zogby poll ending Jan 4.

Trump 51. Biden 39.

Shucks....we need to see polls taken after Bidumb
desecrated Valley Forge and dishonored George Washington,
and heard his foul mouth utter the sacred word “democracy.”

I’m beginning to think there is a group inside the GOP who’s primary task is destroying political futures.

Ron was doing a great job fixing FL.
His future is now over.
John McCain and his staff seems to be the keystone.

It might be as simple as Karl Rove but I don’t think its JUST him.
Clearly he is involved.

Oh but there is. Think Bush, Romney, McCain, Rove, etc.

If DeSantis drops out, I’ll vote for Ramaswamy. If not, then Trump. The only Republican candidate I refuse to vote for is Haley. She’s a Democrat pretending to be a Republican. Even Romney and McCain were better.
