Trump's support stands at 69% in the primary race. That's up 7 points since November and fully 26 points since February. Ron DeSantis receives 12% support (down 1 point since November), Nikki Haley gets 9% (-1), Vivek Ramaswamy 5% (-2), Chris Christie 2% (-1), and Asa Hutchinson 1% (steady). "Haley appears to have the broadest support of any Republican candidate and may be in the best position to take on Biden," says Republican Daron Shaw, who partners with Democrat Chris Anderson on the Fox News Poll. "But the simple fact is most Republicans currently prefer Trump, so the stakes in...

In one recent meeting he said poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it [SNIP] Biden officials have grown accustomed to Democratic anxiety about their every move and the state of their campaign. They routinely point to comments made by lawmakers, donors and pundits who declared Biden’s 2020 primary campaign over when he was routed in Iowa and New Hampshire before he went on to win the nomination and the presidency. But now Biden’s approval rating has tied his record low, standing at 38 percent with 58 percent...

This is the second lopsided poll of Hawkeye State Republicans this week. Ron DeSantis keeps saying he’s “sick” of the polls lately, but a new Iowa survey probably won’t let the healing begin.

A CNN host appeared visibly disturbed when reporting on new polling showing former President Donald Trump decimating Joe Biden in two key swing states. The host of CNN’s “Early Start,” Kasie Hunt, looked shocked while reporting that Trump is leading Biden by 10 points in Michigan and five points in Georgia.

The Iowa caucuses are less than six weeks away, and only eleven months remain until Election Day 2024. So maybe it is a good time to see what voters think before the nomination process begins. In the current Real Clear Politics polling average, Trump is up by +2. --snip-- Let’s look at three items from the polls likely to impact the 2024 election: Joe Biden’s job approval numbers, candidate favorability, and what voters believe are the country’s most serious issues. --snip-- An analysis of these numbers is pretty straightforward. My first impression is how consistent they are. Biden’s job disapproval...

Nikki Haley doubles DeSantis' support. Donald Trump leads him by 57 points. Gov. Ron DeSantis arguably had his best performance in a national debate this week, with a widely viewed showdown with California’s Gavin Newsom the week before. But new polling suggests it might not matter. In the latest Emerson College poll, the Florida Governor has fallen to 7%, his worst showing in any national survey in the 2024 cycle. Adding insult to injury, DeSantis is actually at 6.7%, benefiting from rounding to even hit the modest 7% threshold. DeSantis trails Nikki Haley, who has double his support at 14%....

Chris Christie with two percent, and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson with one percent support. Eight percent remain undecided, which is not enough to help any of them in overtaking Trump.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley passed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for second place in the GOP primary, according to a Wall Street Journal poll conducted days before Wednesday's GOP primary debate in which the former United Nations ambassador was the subject of repeated attacks.

In a match-up between Trump and Haley, the 45th president cleans up with 76 percent of support to her 19 percent.

Recent polls have shown a significant increase in the percentage of gun owners, the amount of gun ownership, and acceptance of the utility of firearms for self-defense.
