A new poll from The Wall Street Journal shows former President Donald Trump maintaining a dominant lead in the Republican presidential primary race for the White House. The poll found that 59% of Republican primary voters are throwing their support behind Trump, marking an impressive 11-point increase since a similar survey was conducted by the outlet in April.
Among the Republican contenders, the only candidate aside from Trump to secure double-digit support was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who garnered 13% support. Notably, since the April poll, Trump’s lead over DeSantis has nearly doubled, now standing at an impressive 46 percentage points. This surge in Trump’s popularity is accompanied by a notable drop in favorability for DeSantis.
Other Republican presidential hopefuls eyeing the 2024 GOP nomination have essentially fallen off the map, according to the poll. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley received 8% support, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy earned 5% support, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie received 3% support, and former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina GOP Senator Tim Scott both received 2% support. While Haley, Ramaswamy, and Christie all saw slight upticks in support compared to the April poll, their increases remained in the single digits.
In a hypothetical match-up, if the 2024 presidential election were held today between Trump and President Biden, the poll found the two candidates locked in a tie with 46% support each, with 8% of respondents remaining undecided. When third-party candidates were factored in, Trump led Biden by a margin of 40% to 39%.
The survey also delved into public opinion regarding the indictments against Trump. Over 60% of Republican primary voters believe that the multiple criminal charges against Trump are politically motivated and lack merit. Furthermore, a substantial 78% of respondents stated that Trump’s actions following the 2020 election were legitimate efforts to ensure an accurate vote, while only 16% believed he had illegally attempted to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
Unsurprisingly, 48% of those surveyed said the indictments actually motivated them to support Trump even more in the 2024 election, whereas 16% said that the legal actions made them less likely to support him.

No, it sounds like trump still has a lot of support from Republicans
Yes it’s over. For joe
Let the prosecution begin
even if u wont vote for trump it’s important for him to be in the race for a number of reasons
its possible that trump deserves our a vote as a protest to the establishment trying to trip him from day one , there is a lot wrong with trump but the dems have used every opportunity to embarrass him and distract him from getting things done
i think pence would be the best option
More phony narishkeit. It should read SPONSORED CONTENT.
It will not be over for a long time even though Biden and Trump have commanding leads in the polls. Both candidates are very weak in terms of winning the election in November, creating the possibility that one will drop out and “bless” a replacement who is more likely to win the election, whereupon the other will also drop out. Nationally, public opinion polls suggest that most voters favor “none of the above”, and arguably both Biden and Trump are more concerned with not losing than with winning.
It should read SPONSORED CONTENT.

KNOW WHAT IS STUNNING AND AMAZING?
NOT ONE OF THESE LOSERS WHO COMMENTED ABOVE BOTHERED TO READ EVEN ONE WORD OF THS ABOVE ARTICLE. NOT ONE. YOU JUST BLASTED YWN FOR WRITING A SIMPLE ARTICLE WHICH SAYS THAT TRUMP IS LEADING THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY PACT AND THAT “IT’S OVER” MEANING FOR DESANTIS, NIKKI HALEY AND THE REST. WHAT IDIOTS! YOU FIRE OFF COMMENTS AFTER READING A HEADLINE. JUST AMAZING HOW DUMB THESE PEOPLE ARE.
WHAT A BUNCH OF SICKOS.
Calm down FERD.
You’re the only bright person reading it. Uhu. Well many including me also did and are commenting responsibly.
I always wonder why I am never part of a poll. As a registered Republican all my life and no one ever polled me. These polls are all phony. Trump DOES NOT lead by such numbers. Only die hard republicans/racists/antisemites are supporting Trump. I supported him twice but turns out he’s a egomaniac sick person.
DeSantis is going strong. We gotta wait it out. No sane person walking into a polling place will want Trump at the helm. He’s not even stable to say the least.
Being a “FERD” actually explains your blind support for a person that dines with vile antisemites amd “doesn’t know” about it. Hes dangerous even if he has Jewish children.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
FERD
LISTEN CLOSELY.
You’re not the only person reading this “sponsored” content. It probably isn’t but it’s a good one .
As a registered republican all my adult life, why was I never polled? These are phony polls. Absolutely.
Trump cannot poll so high besides if all antisemites/racists/sickos are polled.
Hes a egomaniac who’s dangerous to our country. Hopefully he’ll be disqualified from running.
Dining with vile antisemites shldve driven away every normal Yid but unfortunately he gets a pass cuz “he didnt know.”
Every child knows who Nick Fuentes is but Trump didn’t. And then the FERD and all FERDN buy it.
Wake up Yidden. Trump is dangerous to our country.
Miriam,
Polls are not “Phony” learn about Polling, Statistics, & Sample size. You don’t need to interview that many people to get an accurate poll.
BTW, I have been polled about who I support & who I would vote for. You not getting polled proves nothing.
