"Former President Donald Trump has widened his gaping lead over Ron DeSantis and a crowded field of Republican primary contenders as the campaign edges closer toward the crucial early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Even after he was indicted for a fourth time and skipped the first Republican debate, Trump scored 52% of GOP voters' support in a new CNN national poll. It's a giant lead over the Florida governor, who stands at 18% in the same poll."
"Ex-Vice President Mike Pence and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley each earned 7% in the survey. Upstart Vivek Ramaswamy, who grabbed attention at the debate with a series of provocative jousts with rivals, clocked in at 6%, a big increase from the 1% he registered in a similar poll taken in June. Trump's dominance is even more daunting to rivals because his popularity appears to be rising even as his legal woes pile up."
"He increased his support from 47% over the summer. More than 80% of those Trump supporters say there is no chance they will abandon the former president and vote for someone else, meaning he has 43% of GOP support locked in. An even bigger 63% majority of Republicans think Trump will be the nominee, regardless of whom they support. The DeSantis campaign, on the other hand, appears to be locked in a downward spiral, with his support plunging from 26% in June."
A CNN national poll shows Donald Trump commanding 52% of GOP support, up from 47% over the summer, while Ron DeSantis falls to 18% from 26%. Mike Pence and Nikki Haley each register 7%, and Vivek Ramaswamy rises to 6% from 1% in June. More than 80% of Trump supporters say they will not abandon him, effectively locking in 43% of GOP support, and 63% of Republicans expect Trump to be the nominee. The poll of 784 GOP voters was taken days after the first debate, which Trump skipped, and another debate is scheduled later this month that he may boycott.
