Poll: Trump Opens Republican Primary Race with 50-Point Lead
Breitbart ^ | 6 Nov 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU KNUDSEN

Former President Donald Trump is opening up the Republican primary race with a massive 50-point lead over his GOP challengers, an Echelon Insights October survey found.

The survey asked Republicans and Republican-leaners who they would support in the GOP primary race if it were held today. Trump stands out as the runaway frontrunner with 62 percent choosing him as their candidate. Not one individual comes remotely within striking distance, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes in a distant second, 50 points behind with 12 percent support.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who Trump has dubbed “Birdbrain,” comes five points behind DeSantis with seven percent support. Vivek Ramaswamy comes in fourth place with six percent support, followed by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott with one percent support.

The survey also put Trump and DeSantis against each other in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup and found 71 percent indicating that they would definitely or probably support Trump, compared to 23 percent who said they would definitely or probably support DeSantis. Six percent remain unsure.

The overall survey was taken October 23-26, among 1,029 likely voters. It has a +/- 4.1 percent margin of error and comes as Trump continues to dominate in poll after poll.

So far, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and former Vice President Mike Pence have dropped out of the race, prior to a single vote being cast.

Meanwhile, Trump has continued to score key endorsements, most recently earning clear support from Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who urged the Republican party to coalesce behind Trump.

“It’s time for the Republican Party to come together, behind one candidate, and declare with one voice that we are united in our efforts to defeat Joe Biden and rescue America,” Scott wrote, asserting that GOP voters have made their voice

This must be SoConPubbie’s 110th post showing that Trump is ahead. It’s overkill, and DeSantis doesn’t care because he isn’t a poll chaser.

Well, in DeSanctimonious's case, poll-watching would be a totally depressing endeavor since he is only polling at between 8% and 16% depending on the poll, and only trending downward while President Trump is only trending up both against DeSanctimonious and Biden.

I can see why he would be ignoring the polls!

Well, we are often told here on Free Republic, that polls don’t matter, polls are meaningless, don’t believe them, etc.

but, but but the 3rd Loser-O-Rama GOP Presidential “debate” is being nationally telecast on live TV by the virulently anti-MAGA NBC network tomorrow because Rona McDaniels and the RNC are total morons ... this is the perfect opportunity to watch RINO Lilliputians pointless bicker amongst each other about pointless issues and take pot shots at the most popular GOP Presidential candidate in history, while the Bidenistas continue to burn down the world and burn down the U.S. economy ... way to go Rona! ...

We need to make sure Trump wins IA and NH handily. Those are the toughest states for him. If ye wins both and it looks anything like the polls the momentum is going to be difficult for the scum to stop

All DeSantis had to do was keep his mouth shut on the primaries, govern Florida as he had bee, support Trump when it was clear he won or earlier, and wait until 2028.

Instead he took a zippo to his bridges, and is now pouring on kindling and combustible fluids. Too bad that is who he is. I would have tolerated him faking it as he was as long as he knew who his base was.

We have to start looking for a MAGA successor NOW.

The GOPe munchkin brigade have pinned their hopes on the tyranny of the DOJ.

I will never vote for DeSantis, Halle, or any other cretin the GOPe tries to shove down our throats.
