The poll published on Tuesday shows that 42 percent of likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers support Trump, placing him 27 points ahead of DeSantis at 15 percent.
DeSantis has lost six points of support compared to when he pinged at 21 percent in a July 5-6 survey from the pollster, while Trump has dropped two points. Overall, DeSantis’s support has dwindled 11 percent since the first poll conducted on May 11-12.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) continues to gain on the Florida governor, as he has since early May, registering at nine percent. This marks a two-point increase since earlier this month.
Scott also enjoyed success in both a Fox Business poll released on Sunday, showing him at ten percent in South Carolina, and in a University of New Hampshire poll last week, where he earned eight percent of support in the Granite State.
National Research Inc. finds that entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has begun to surge in national polls, has also climbed two points in recent weeks. He holds five percent of backing among likely caucusgoers and lands in fourth place.
Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) has four percent of support, followed by former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), who tie at three percent in this latest poll. Former Vice President Mike Pence takes the final spot with just two percent of backing.

I'll vote for him even if he's in jail.
Trump got more votes than any R candidate in history.
None of the second tier GOP candidates will come close. They'll be lucky to top 64 million.
And the machinery to produce 81 million ballots in 2020 that went to he most corrupt and unintelligent candidate any party has ever ran for office is still in place for 2024.
The polls show DeSantis losing to biden, but Trump winning.
1. I’m not talking money. Money is pretty much irrelevant. I’m surprised you’re still buying into the money thing. Steve Forbes and Phil Gramm had far more money when they dropped out than anyone else. What they didn’t have was a shot at delegates.
2. I’m also surprised you think that money spent on lawyers isn’t campaign spending. Don’t you recall 2016 when everyone said “All Trump is getting is bad press?” ANY coverage is good for Trump. For supporters, they rally, for indies (and he is up HUGE with indies over Rutabaga in the latest Harris Harvard Poll) it’s demonstration that he is being attacked by the whole fed government. In other words, even legal spending IS campaign spending, just as good as ads.
3. It’s deja vu all over again: in 2016 Trump critics completely missed the importance of the rallies. It wasn’t to show he could get 15,000 people in a venue. It was an END RUN around the hoax news media because local media HAD to cover it and it bled over into major media markets without the full hour of criticism from the anchors and hosts.
4. DeSoros is done. He was done in March, as I predicted. Even a compilation of ALL polls show him at 18%, or 1% better than a year ago. And you don’t let go 1/3 of your staff if you’re in great shape. I can’t recall a single candidate in history who has cut staff and cut spending and come back.
Hart was a quick collapse. However, I don’t think he or Dean ever had the money that DeSoros had.
DeSoros? Seriously?
How is the man who fired Soros prosecutors a Soros stooge while the man who took money from Soros is not?
Post 38 worked, post 39 did not.
I’m not a Twitter member, that could be a factor. We both know what Luntz and Morgan are about- garbage.
Look at his donors. You won’t have to go far.
His entire campaign was generated with Paul Ryan, Yeb, Rove, and a few others months ago under the premise Trump would be taken out. One of his top donors is a Soros guy. Ken . . . forget his last name. You can find it if you want.

Oh, you mean the time in 2005 that real estate developer Donald Trump financed one of his projects with a $650 million loan from Deutsch Bank and a $160 million mezzanine loan from a group of three investors - one of who was George Soros? That’s what you’re referring to? When you have to try and mislead people with statements like that, you have a weak argument.

The only weak argument is DeSoros’s argument for being president.
He had to cancel two fundraisers in the Hamptons for lack of interest after cutting the requested donation in half. But RFK Jr. hit the same area and came away with big bucks.
I stand by my prediction. DeSoros is out by Christmas.
McCain in 2008.
Christmas seems a bit early to me, but you could be right. Regardless of when he drops out, do you believe he’ll be the first one to do so? I suppose it all depends on what his backers want. An early exit gives them time to find a new candidate to back.
If you mean nomination, yes.
Why did he come back?
Two words: Sarah Palin.
DeSoros has already alienated all the “Sarah Palins” out there.
He’s toast. BTW, you outta see the pathetic “second wave” of Twit influencers hired after they booted Shill Mitchell and Cardildo. Obviously they aren’t getting paid as much. All have join dates of March 23.
