Trump Holds Wide Lead Over GOP Field Ahead of Iowa Caucuses, Poll Finds
A recent poll has revealed that former President Donald Trump is holding a significant lead in the Republican field ahead of the Iowa caucuses. The survey results indicate that Trump continues to maintain his popularity and support base within the party, though it should be noted that in the ever-changing political landscape, predetermined outcomes are not guaranteed.
Overall, roughly two-thirds of likely caucusgoers – 68% – say their minds are made up about whom to support.
The poll also finds Trump with the highest favorability ratings in the field; 69% hold a favorable view of the former president, compared with 58% who view DeSantis favorably, 52% who have a favorable view of Vivek Ramaswamy and 48% who have a favorable view of Haley
Haley performs somewhat better than her overall standing among independents (33% support her, compared with 37% who back Trump) and college graduates (27%, compared with 34% for Trump), while DeSantis support is somewhat higher than his statewide position among evangelical Christians (22%).
