The poll, conducted by J. Ann Selzer on behalf of NBC News, the Des Moines Register, and Mediacom, shows that 42 percent of Iowa caucusgoers back Trump for the nomination. DeSantis holds 19 percent support, as he sits ten points ahead of Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) with nine percent of backing.
From there, former Vice President Mike Pence and former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) tie at six percent, followed by former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) with five percent support. Four percent of likely Iowa caucusgoers surveyed back entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, while Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) and former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) ping at two percent and one percent, respectively:

No other candidate secured even one percent support, while seven percent are either undecided or would not back any of the candidates in the field.
Of those who support Trump, 66 percent say their minds are “made up,” while 34 percent “[c]ould be persuaded” to support another candidate. Conversely, only 34 percent of DeSantis supporters are sold on him, and almost 70 percent of them have not made up their minds. The margin of error (MOE) for the Trump and DeSantis samples is ± 7.5 percent and 11.8 percent, respectively.

Notably, the poll was partly conducted after the latest indictment against Trump came down in Georgia on August 14. NBC News notes that 65 percent of the respondents do not think Trump has “committed serious crimes.”
It implies the enthusiasm for Jeb Bush and Chris Christie is also lower. Guess both also need a re-set or a re-boot or a re-introduction or something.
Just imagine a recent DEMOCRAT President making statements in a SOTU speech like "Our borders must be secure. Speed up deportations. Hire more Border Patrol officers.", ETC..... Monica's ex-boyfriend:

Then this:
"I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message."
When should we expect the mattress tag removal indictment? 😳
More enthusiastic? Can’t be. The Eighth Day Creation said Trump supporters were listless mouth breathers who just wanted to kiss ass (while he smacks the Bush clan real good).
DeSantis better keep his RV parked in Iowa because if he doesn’t win that caucus state, he’ll get ‘boat raced’ in the regular winner take all primaries.
DeSantis is a GOPe tool of the Bush/Rove/McConnell/McCain/Romney faction.
So is viek.
Can someone explain the significance of DJT’s lead in the polls when there is a chance that he lands in jail?
A friend wants to know.
Please keep it simple so I too can comprehend.
23 points?
LOL
Look at you go! You are earning your blog pimp pay today. Posting 5-6 Fake News articles in just the last 90 minutes.
Tell the friend to dry up & blow away.
The deep state attacks those it fears. The cases are bogus. If they can put our ex President in jail for no crime when Biden is corrupt, treasonous and has broken many laws we have no country left. So your friend doesn’t need to ask stupid leading questions about non issues.
I may possibly have a more enthusiastic base than DeSantis ;-)
The cases are probably all bogus as you say, but if the entire DOJ is occupied by the deep state, Trump will still lose. Read up on the Weimar republic and read how easy it was for Stalin to take over in Russia and Mao in China. Then notice how deeply entrenched quisling Biden is in today’s politics. He who runs the DOJ in any country is the absolute boss. Brandon has already assured that we will have to face his F-15s if we want to oppose him. Brandon would love nothing more than to have his own Tianamin Square party — all dictators do.
My friend says you are as dried up as Brandon is. I agree with my friend.
Trump isn’t the PROBLEM.
It’s the Biden/Harris ticket that is going
to cause all the problems for the GOP. IMO
they have a game plan lay out.
