The latest poll numbers out of Iowa show Trump with a commanding lead while the rest of the field struggles to crack double digits except Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to KCRG.com:
The poll numbers continue to look the same. Donald Trump is in the lead, everyone else trails. The most recent Iowa State University poll shows Donald Trump is still the clear favorite among Iowa Republicans. He’s the number one choice among 55 percent of the people polled.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gained three points from ISU’s last poll where he now is in second place with 17 percent. Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is at 11 percent. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy saw his numbers fall from 9 percent to five. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is at four percent.
Iowa State University Political Science professor Dave Peterson says, “It’s now looking more like there isn’t a sort of coalesced alternative to Donald Trump, that Donald Trump is the leader and there isn’t much of a sign that anyone is gonna be close to challenging him anytime soon.”
Almost from the onset, the DeSantis campaign has seen Iowa as the Governor’s first and possibly last stand against Trump. The strategy concerns evangelical voters in Iowa, a large swatch of the Republican electorate. However, despite months of effort, nothing has moved the needle in DeSantis’ favor. From the poll numbers above, it also seems like Trump has gained ground while DeSantis seems to be softening as his rivals lap up some of his support.
Trump’s first speech today happens around 2:30 ET with the next following around 4 pm ET. Visit and bookmark the Trump rally schedule for complete details on all upcoming events and campaign stops.
