Meanwhile, former Gov. Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are both trailing far behind with 13 percent and 4 percent, respectively. And let’s not forget about former Gov. Chris Christie, who is barely even on the radar with a measly 3 percent of support. Ouch!
Not only is Trump dominating the current support, but an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents are considering backing him in the caucuses. This makes him the only candidate to pull a majority in this regard. The others don’t even come close, with DeSantis at 45 percent and the remaining candidates lagging far behind.
It’s abundantly clear that the people of Iowa are overwhelmingly in favor of Trump, with 99 percent of those contemplating supporting him expressing that they believe “things were better off under” his leadership. Additionally, 92 percent believe he “represents Iowa values,” and 75 percent feel that they “know him better than other candidates” and/or have always been supporters. It’s no wonder Trump is soaring high above his competition with these kinds of numbers!
The poll also found that an impressive 64 percent of respondents believe Trump would definitely beat Biden in a 2024 rematch, with another 30 percent thinking he “might beat Biden.” When it comes to DeSantis, 40 percent think he would definitely win over Biden, 46 percent think he might, and only 14 percent see him as a long shot.
The bottom line is clear: Trump’s support in Iowa is formidable, and his opponents are simply struggling to keep up. As the caucuses draw near, the momentum is clearly in Trump’s favor, and it looks like his dominance in the race shows no signs of slowing down. Stay tuned for more updates as the excitement continues to unfold!
