Former President Donald Trump is boasting a sizable lead in Texas’s hypothetical 2024 Republican primary race, a CWS Research/Defend Texas Liberty PAC survey found.
The survey showed Trump leading the pack with 43 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in a distant second with 27 percent support. No other candidate came close, as presidential candidate Nikki Haley placed third with five percent support followed by Sen. Ted Cruz and former Vice President Mike Pence, who garnered four percent support each.
Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who also formally joined the presidential race, garnered two percent support, while Sen. Tim Scott and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saw one percent support each.
Overall, 13 percent remain undecided.
The survey represents a boost for Trump and decrease for DeSantis in the Lone Star State over the last two months.
In January, Trump and DeSantis were close, with 36 percent support and 35 percent support, respectively. In other words, Trump has experienced a seven point gain, and DeSantis has seen an eight point loss since January’s survey.

God Bless you, Mr. President.
“The survey showed Trump leading the pack with 43 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in a distant second with 27 percent support.”
I’m not sure I’d put the word ‘distant’ there, more like ‘strong second’, but regardless, I cannot help but notice that neither Trump nor DeSantis want World War 3, whereas most of the rest do (other than Noem). But look at the numbers for the pro-nuclear war bunch. Not very good, not very good at all.
Bttt
Damned good point
Haha Swamy has moved ahead of sleep medicine Pompeo and Senator Tim Scott and only 2 points behind VP Pence.
Swamy wants WWIII? I don’t think so.
Yeah, but Trump’s position is a little bit different than DeSantis’. Trump said this is not our war. This is Europe’s war. Trump said he would insist on Europe sending the weapons and money to Ukraine. He also said he could end it in ONE day if he got in. How? Through negotiations of some kind or another. What Trump doesn’t say is we have no interest there SO SCREW IT! That is what Desantis was saying the other day, and if you really think about it that kind of thinking can also lead to a World War. So Trump is different if you listen and read carefully to what he says and is the only one who can end it.
“Swamy wants WWIII? I don’t think so.”
You’re right, but since no one (including me) knows who he is, I didn’t even remember his response.
“Cow Chip” Roy is a back stabbing Rino.
He is out on a limb in Texas because when
Texas needed help Trump was always there
for Texas.
The #1 concern for me is not who will win the Republican primary but who can win against the Democrat candidate.
You’re in the minority here. Most trumpers only seem to care about who can win the primary even if that means getting smoked in the general. Everyone not named trump is a “GLOBALIST RINO!”
Swamy has been on Fox News several times. He sounds more MAGA than Trump. He wants Bureaucrts in federal government to be term limited to 8 years (may be 12 I don’t remember), Wants to get rid of Dept of Education entirely, politicians to be term limited, cut dependence on China to ZERO, No foreign wars, etc.
The answer to that is simple. The Democrap will win again. They have mastered the science of vote fraud. GOP is way behind, and still has the mentality of “we are better than them”.
