In a recent poll released by The Wall Street Journal, it’s looking like former President Donald Trump is still a force to be reckoned with in the Republican party. Despite the numerous indictments and ongoing legal battles, Trump has managed to maintain a commanding lead among Republican primary voters. According to the poll, a whopping 59 percent of GOP primary voters have chosen Trump as their first choice, while another 7 percent have him as their second choice.
This news must be particularly disheartening for Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, who only managed to secure 13 percent of respondents choosing him as their first choice. It seems that DeSantis’s star is quickly fading, while Trump’s continues to shine bright.
What’s even more remarkable is that Trump’s lead has actually expanded since the last poll in April. Despite the constant media attacks and biased reporting, Trump remains the top choice for a majority of Republican primary voters. It’s clear that the American people are able to see through the baseless indictments and recognize Trump’s true leadership abilities.
Even more telling is the fact that those candidates who have been critical of Trump, like Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson, are barely registering in the polls. Christie is actually the most unpopular candidate tested, with a whopping 73 percent holding an unfavorable view of him. It’s clear that the Republican base wants a candidate who will stand with Trump and fight for conservative values.

Looking ahead to the general election, the poll also found Trump and President Joe Biden in a statistical tie, with Trump receiving 40 percent support compared to Biden’s 39 percent. This is a remarkable feat considering the relentless attacks Trump has faced from the media and the left. It just goes to show that the American people have not forgotten the successes of the Trump administration and the positive impact it had on our country.
It’s important to note that this poll is not an outlier. Other reputable polls have also shown Trump with a lead over Biden. The Economist/YouGov, Emerson, and The New York Post have all shown similar results. The fact that these polls consistently show Trump in the lead should not be ignored or dismissed as mere coincidence. It’s a clear indication that Trump has the support of the American people and is still a viable contender for the presidency.
One interesting aspect highlighted in the poll is how the indictments against Trump have actually helped his popularity among primary voters. More than 60 percent of Republican primary voters believe that the indictments are politically motivated and without merit. In fact, nearly half of respondents said that the indictments actually make them more likely to vote for Trump in 2024. This just goes to show that the American people are tired of the partisan tactics and are rallying behind Trump now more than ever.
In conclusion, despite the biased media coverage and relentless attacks, former President Donald Trump remains a strong and popular figure within the Republican party. The polls have consistently shown his lead among primary voters, and even in a hypothetical rematch with President Biden, Trump is holding strong. It’s clear that the American people have not forgotten the successes of the Trump administration and are eager to see him back in the White House. With his unwavering support and the flaws of his opponents becoming increasingly evident, Trump’s path to victory in 2024 is looking brighter than ever.
