Pollster McLaughlin to Newsmax: Trump's Numbers Up With NY Case
Newsmax ^ | Sunday, 26 March 2023 09:52 AM EDT | By Sandy Fitzgerald

Former President Donald Trump's poll numbers have "exploded" to 61% to 31% over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the "Republican base has totally reacted and been polarized" by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's push for an indictment against Trump, pollster John McLaughlin told Newsmax on Sunday.

"When you look at Donald Trump one on one against DeSantis, he was leading in January, but only 52% to 41%. Now it's exploded to 61% to 31%," McLaughlin said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "What you've got is a situation where the only crime that Donald Trump committed is he's ahead in the polls. He's leading Joe Biden in this poll among 1,000 likely voters across the country 48% to 43%. We never saw that in 2016. We were always close in the battleground states."

But Trump has been leading Biden in the polls for over a year after the surrender in Afghanistan, and even though DeSantis, who has not declared a presidential campaign yet, is "saying I'm the best one who can win the election, that's not true," said McLaughlin, who has served as a Trump campaign pollster.

Meanwhile, when asked why DeSantis hasn't officially declared a campaign, McLaughlin said he would not know what the governor is thinking right now, "but if he's looking at good polling it's a very tough race, and he's splitting his base."

I think Trump knew what he was doing. He most definitely has not lost his touch. I can’t wait for him to quit screwing around and get back on Twitter. I’m very much anticipating the return of the barbed “nasty tweet”.

No matter who the GOP candidate is, it’s not going to make a difference if the RNC doesn’t get its act together and:

1. Stop allowing biased lefties like Chris Wallace and CNN, NBC, ABC propagandists to be debate moderators and

2. Figure out how to stop the election fraud or, at least, counter it.

Trump needs to focus on his record and his plans for the future and not deal with childish name calling.

Alinsky cuts both ways. Funny how the left can’t take a single dose of their own medicine.

“Trump needs to focus on his record and his plans for the future and not deal with childish name calling.”

Or he can do both. Trump is good at multi-tasking.

I hope that McDaniel is reading this.

Great comments.

Yup. If the RNC gave a damn about our party, it would focus on eliminating voter fraud.
